I hate movies that tell people what to think. Im proud that Democrats thought Thank You For Smoking was their film and Republicans thought it was theirs. Im proud that pro-choice people thought Juno was their film and pro-life people thought it was theirs. – Jason Reitman
I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, Im not going to make a Haneke film. Thats just not in my DNA. – Jason Reitman
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 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
You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm. – Sarah Bernhardt
