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
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
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
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
