Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You dont think of it as just movies, but as a life. – Jason Reitman
When youre young, you want to make every kind of film: musicals, Westerns, horror. Slowly you begin to hear your own voice. I hope people receive what I do as small, personal films that are somewhat contrarian about their main characters. – Jason Reitman
Im equally guilty of using technology – I Twitter, I text people, I chat. But I think theres something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think were closer when in fact were not seeing each other, were not connecting. – Jason Reitman
There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible. – Jason Reitman
Do not shun this maxim because it is common-place. On the contrary, take the closest heed of what observant men, who would probably like to show originality, are yet constrained to repeat. Therein lies the marrow of the wisdom of the world. – Arthur Helps, “Chapter IV,” Companions of My Solitude, 1851
