Paul Thomas Anderson

I don't think the competition's so rough, within the majority of movies made in Hollywood.

My dad was this sort of avant-garde guy who did all kinds of weird things. He was a true original and anybody who met him never forgot him.

I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven't done it yet, but I tried to get close in the beginning.

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.

One Moment in Time because I think it describes me as a person and how I felt about being on the show.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.
