“Wes Anderson. The Life Aquatic. I have a soft place in my heart for this movie. I cried when you saw the fish. Fully cried. That was one of my biggest movie cries. The big fish reveal.”

“Life Aquatic. Oh, I think I have a copy but I love this movie. It's the first time I worked with Wes Anderson. I like Life Aquatic because it floats for a long time and there's lots going on where you think 'what the hell,' but at the end it lands emotionally in a way that is incredible.”

Willem Dafoe
