00:00Well, you said it. He's very specific. He knows exactly what he wants.
00:04He's an auteur that you can't predict the tone or the direction that you're going to go.
00:12I think it's going to go, and he'll say, oh, no, I need to go that way.
00:16It's like, oh, wow, okay, you go that way.
00:20So it's one of the first things that actors do in the first acting class is called trust exercise,
00:26where you close your head and you fall backwards, and your acting partner trust fall, and it catches you.
00:33And that's kind of what it is to do a Wes Anderson movie.
00:36It's like, I don't know that I completely understand what it is we're saying or doing at any given moment, but he does.
00:46And that's more important.
00:48And so you just trust fall into his arms, and he takes you away.
