Wilder Quotes

“Fix your hair,' she says, then shrugs again. 'Or make it wilder. You look lovely either way.”

“There’s a famous quote regarding Polanski. Perhaps Jack Nicholson said it, perhaps someone else, but it goes, “Polanski is the five-foot Pole I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.” So, yes, the world seems to despise him. I, however, love his work. It’s so much funnier and well-constructed than the pompous stuff of Kubrick. Polanski balances between camp and horror in much the same way Billy Wilder did.”
― Chuck Palahniuk

“The spring evenings had grown long, and it was hard to darken the room. They sat in their separate chairs and waited for Fassbinder, their silence a respectful preparation. They had waited this way for their meetings with Truffaut, Bergman, Visconti, Renoir, Wilder, and all the other honored guests that Jonna had chosen and enthroned–the finest present she could give her friend.”
― Tove Jansson, Fair Play

“I don't know my place in the bigger scheme of things, but I do know I'm here on this earth for a reason, and I never make the mistake of thinking that what I do is trivial. I trust in myself. I am important.”
― Christina Dodd, Wilder
