Wes Anderson: “I am not a meme.”
From a great interview with Inverse:
When I'm making a movie what I'm focusing on is the story, the characters, what's different about that movie. But what ties them together is something to do with me, and it's almost like my handwriting, [the] visual thing. It's the surface of the movie, but I get that it takes people about five seconds before they can say, "I know who directed this." I don't choose that so much as that's just what it's like when I do it. And I like that people can be inspired to make their own things that way. I'm not imitating me. I am me. So sometimes I feel a bit like I get put on the defensive because I am not a meme. I am myself. I'm the actual me. I'm not an AI.
