After knowing Wes for a while - and being thankful that he is considerably film literate; in other words, that he has a clear sense of what has preceded him, also a rarity with directors these days - I quoted a line from a favorite picture of mine (and his, it turned out), applying the phrase to him. In Hawks’ Rio Bravo (1959), John Wayne expresses to a friend his admiration for Ricky Nelson’s youthful professionalism: ‘It’s nice to see a smart kid for a change.’
- Peter Bogdanovich on Wes Anderson, 2001
