Spike Jonze Quotes

Emotions are messy and hard to figure out. Hard to know where you start and the next person stops. Even as an adult, that’s a hard thing to know. As a kid, it can be really confusing, because it’s all new and you’re trying to sort of make your map Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what life was like 1,000 years ago, but I imagine there was the same struggle: people trying to connect with each other Picture Quote #1

I love people that willfully defy what you’re supposed to be and create their own definition of their selves Picture Quote #1

I like people that define their own values. I am much more interested in somebody who has their own definition of what they value, their own definition of what success is, their own definition of what love is Picture Quote #1

I respect people that are die-hard film people, but I started on video. I started on Hi8 video and mini-DV, and I made skate videos. So, I love film, and I love the way it looks, but I also love the way crappy video looks, or VHS. I’ve always been a fan of whatever the look is that’s appropriate for what the feeling is Picture Quote #1

I’m fortunately not, like, typecast. I don’t have to just do one kind of thing; I can do all kinds of things that reflect different parts of me Picture Quote #1

It is not how I want to make movies. So if that’s how they do it, then I don’t think I want to do it Picture Quote #1

I definitely liked the Muppets. I definitely liked Yoda in ‘Empire Strikes Back’ and Chewbacca. I don’t know if I was a fan of puppets or those, like, specific characters Picture Quote #1

Everything in L.A. is - it’s just an easy place to live in. The houses are nice, the backyards are nice, you got the ocean right there and the mountains behind you; there’s an idealised easiness to the way you live and the whole environment Picture Quote #1

When you’re close to somebody, you can never really know how they’re experiencing the world Picture Quote #1

I love when me and my friends don’t know how to make something - there’s that risk of failure, which should be there. If it’s guaranteed not to fail, it’s something you already know how to do Picture Quote #1

Nicolas Cage, I would love to work with him again. He’s just a fearless madman. He’ll go anywhere you want to go. He would not say ‘no’ to anything Picture Quote #1

After ‘Where The Wild Things Are,’ which was this big, long five-year project, I spent a year making small things Picture Quote #1
