Paul Thomas Anderson

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.

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.

As I have got older and become a father, there's less and less time for films.

I am convinced that the majority of people would be generous from selfish motives, if they had the opportunity.

I've never been in a competition before, and I said I'm going to go. I think - I just love to sing.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
