11. Talking about the direction of Wes Anderson, Courtney B Vance had said:

“Wes Anderson is a perfectionist, so you have to just be ready to try it this way, try it this way, try it that way, and then try it this way. And then, once you think you’ve got it all and it’s done, then you’re going to be called back in two or three months, so you can try it that way and try it this way. You’ve got to give him all of it. But ultimately, just like with Tom, who’s a perfectionist that likes to do it until he gets it done, the proof is in it when you see it and it’s just gorgeous. Every moment is so full of layers. You know that’s what you have to do because that’s just your process. So, you go, “Okay, all right, I’ll be there. Just let me know when, and I’ll be good.”
