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
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 going to have a perfect career. Its better to be Billy Wilder and make lots of movies and have five or six great ones than to make so few movies that when you make a bad one it crushes you. – 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
If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. – Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe, letter to President Franklin Pierce
