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
I dont want to make films that give you the answer. If there is a message to my films – and I hope there isnt – its to be open-minded. – 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
Selfishness, narcissism, being uncomfortable in your own skin, not feeling connected to the world around you, feeling dislocated from family and youth, having a strange relationship with your childhood – all those things feel really true to me. – Jason Reitman
By the way, movies are like sporting events in that youre as good as the movie youre in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if theyre dreck, its nothing. – Albert Brooks
