Things are going better now than ever, but in 24 months? I could be hearing crickets.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I really enjoy playing that everyman part because that part is us, the audience. And you need somebody inside a comedy to tether the absurdity to reality.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
Jennifer Aniston and I have always just really gotten along well... I was just fortunate to be a good fit for parts in her films.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I only wanted to get married once, so when I felt I was ready to handle it, I looked at my relationships and noticed that boyfriends get tired of girlfriends, and vice versa, but you never get tired of your friends.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
The comedy community is very friendly right now. I think that's why you see all the synergy and people doing each other's movies.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
It was like 'Risky Business' for 10 years. My parents were out of town, they left me a bunch of money, the car, and the house, and I didn't know when they were coming home.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
Our job as actors is to just try to be as accurate and as mindful of what the audience is going through and receiving and processing.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
My father was a freelance writer/director/producer, and my mother was a stewardess for Pan-Am. It was very non-traditional.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I looked around at the relationships that were the longest in my life, and they were the ones I had with my friends. I thought, 'If I only wanted to get married once, I should probably marry a friend.'
Quote by -Jason Bateman
Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
People still come up to me and say, 'Hey, 'Teen Wolf!' 'Teen Wolf Too' closed a week after it opened. Where did they see it?
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I don't feel sorry for people in the public eye getting eyed by the public.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
If you're stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don't be dumb. If you're going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home - which I did a lot of.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I just think technology is pretty amazing. Like all things that are great, you have to be responsible about how much you use it.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I think it's always a good time to be in a political film in America because there's so much material for comedy.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
Our kids will never have to remember things, because it's all in pictures. Want to remember your fourth birthday? There'll be video of it on your phone.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I'd much rather have the freedom, and the obligation to use it responsibly, than be put in a box.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All in the Family,' but it was all in Carroll O'Connor's performance. You saw lack of intelligence, and you laughed.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
My mother is British; she's from Shrewsbury. She turned me onto 'Monty Python' very early.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I'm not a big, huge star, and so when people see me, it's usually to talk about something I've done, and that's a great conversation to have. That's what we're doing it for.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
If you laugh, we just do another take. Laughter is too rare nowadays. If you can bust a gut, let it go, and we'll just go back to one.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
There's a bunch of different flavours of funny. It's all about the execution of it.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I'm just going to try to stay employed. That's the tough part in this business.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I didn't really watch 'Beavis & Butt-head' that much or 'King of the Hill,' but I was a huge 'Office Space' fan.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I try to figure out how much of the character I can find in myself because you don't want to get outside of your skill-set.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I'm not that great of an actor, so I can't, like, completely become somebody else.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I can't assume that my kid is going to make the best decision all the time.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
Nothing would make me happier than doing nothing but drama for the foreseeable future.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
Ideally, that's what you've got in an acting career is an equal number of dramas and comedies and an equal number of small films and big films.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
When you're playing a supporting character, you don't really have a lot of control of the quality of the film.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
My father was a director and producer, so when I was a little kid, he would take me to movies and show me what's good and what's not good and why, and often that would take me to a conversation about directing.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I don't really find a problem with technology or television or anything. I'm a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don't think I'm too dumb or too crazy.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
The kids can't watch 'The Wire,' but there's great educational stuff for them to watch on TV if it is TV time. There are great apps on the iPad that are interactive and educational.
Quote by -Jason Bateman
I really empathise with some of my peers who had success in the early years; then it dries up, and so there's no reason to get up in the morning.
