Interesting Quotes

• He's [Constable] a great painter as far as it goes, but I don't think he's remotely interesting. Not really. It's very pretty and it's very thorough, but it's not evocative, it's not dramatic, it doesn't do what Beethoven does - it doesn't shake you down to the roots of your soul, which Turner does. Constable is just very nice, basically. And moving on to personality, Constable was a very dull character.

• I find daily life not always joyous, but always interesting. I have some sad days and nights, but none that are dull. As I advance deeper into the vale of years, I live with constantly increasing gusto and excitement. I am sure it all means something; in the last analysis, I am an optimist because I believe in God. Those who have no faith are quite naturally pessimists and I do not blame them.

• The movies I've done with Wes Anderson have a much different quality than some of the more broad comedies. But what is interesting is how many sequels I've done. I've worked with Ben Stiller a million times now, and this is yet another sequel we're doing. I guess we're lucky to be in some movies that people wanted to see again.
