Ive been very, very lucky in my career, in my life – from day one. When aspiring directors say, Whats your advice? first I say, Be born the son of a famous director. Its invaluable. – Jason Reitman
Im not Michael Moore. I think Michael Moore wants to tell you how to think. He wants to give you answers. I make movies to raise my own personal questions and not to give answers. – Jason Reitman
Im not going to have a perfect career. Its better to be Billy Wilder and make lots of movies and have five or six great ones than to make so few movies that when you make a bad one it crushes you. – Jason Reitman
When characters change on screen, it makes you feel better about yourself. You think, Oh I change too, Im constantly becoming a better person. – Jason Reitman
It wasnt not being famous any more, or even not being a recording artist. It was having nobody who needed me, no phones ringing, nothing to do. Because Im still too young to do nothing. I was only 24 when all that happened. Now, at 40, I feel Ive got more to give than I ever have. – Gary Barlow
