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
Its funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made but even a quite good romantic comedy can drive me nuts. – 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
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
The flowery Path of Poetry but ill accords with the thorny Mazes of the Law; in the one I have wandered with rapture from Infancy, and I have endeavoured to grace the other with a simple but lasting Ornament—Integrity of Heart. – Charles Snart, “Dedication, to Robert Lowe, Esq. Oxton,” 1807 January 1st, Newar
