The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Paul Thomas Anderson
- Screenwriting is like ironing. You move forward a little bit and go back and smooth things out.
- I guess what I like in my movies is where you see a character change by maybe two degrees as opposed to the traditional movie change of ninety degrees. I guess that always feels false to me in movies because that doesn’t truly happen. Around me, at least in the life I live, I guess I don’t see people change ninety or a hundred degrees. I see them change in very small increments. I think it’s just a monitor I might have on myself as a writer to not make any false scenes.
- I am always looking for that nuance, that moment of truth, and you can’t really do that fast.
- It’s a gamble you take, the risk of alienating an audience. But there’s a theory – sometimes it’s better to confuse them for five minutes than let them get ahead of you for 10 seconds.
- How do I respond to criticism? Critically. I listen to all criticism critically.
- You write who you are. But you also cheat, and youwrite what you want to be. It’s embarrasing to be the guy who madethe movie, knowing you’re not exactly who you want to be.
- My writing has a lot to do with who I am, and what my life is like, and my relationships to people.
- We’re all children of Kubrick, aren’t we? Is there anything you can do that he hasn’t done?
- I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I’ll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
- If you figure a way to live without serving a master, any master, then let the rest of us know, will you? For you’d be the first person in the history of the world.
