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
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
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
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
Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words. – Rainer Maria Rilke
