Jason Bateman Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jason Bateman:

I haven't met a lot of 'Hogan Family' fans.

We had this neighbor who was an actor, and he was going to an audition one day, driving by our house, and he asked if I wanted to tag along. He was reading for the part of the father, and they were reading for the part of the son the same day, and he told me to sneak in there and make it look like I knew what I was doing.

I never looked at fan mail, for some reason. My mother and grandmother handled my mail - although it's not like I was ever in the stratosphere of Kirk Cameron or Scott Baio.

Jason Bateman

I just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me.

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.

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.

Jason Bateman

A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.

Jason Bateman

There's a bunch of different flavours of funny. It's all about the execution of it.

Jason Bateman

I think things that are really, really not good are easy to see. But films that are decent can either be made good or great based on the execution. At the end of the day, it's always a crapshoot about the execution, the level of taste, in any department.

Jason Bateman

People like Bill Murray are incredible at what they do and are definitely my flavour. Although Will Ferrell, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ricky Gervais are also incredible actors. In their comedy, they make these stupid people feel so real. These guys are really setting the bar very high, and I learn as much from them about acting as I do about comedy.

Jason Bateman

I don't have anything to fix! I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't eat carbs. My life is just great now. Normal. Vanilla.

Jason Bateman

I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could. I don't need to be wrapped in herbs like a salmon fillet, but I do love a massage.

Jason Bateman

By definition, gay is smart. I see plenty of macho heterosexual idiots, but nine times out of 10 you can have a great conversation if you find a gay guy.

Jason Bateman

You do certain things in your twenties that are just not appropriate in your thirties and certainly not appropriate in your forties. Eventually you even the scales, and it's time to move on and become an adult and start working hard again and going to sleep a little bit earlier. Fortunately, I got a job to facilitate that transition.

Jason Bateman

I don't want to be obnoxious with my ambition or sound like I expect any sort of entitlement here. Hollywood is not in the business of humoring people.

Jason Bateman

I'm in a little bit of a different situation, because working in the business that I do and living in the city that I live in, I haven't had a problem with people who are gay. Since I was 10 I've been working alongside them, and some of my best friends are gay.

Jason Bateman

I think the Internet is a huge positive.

Jason Bateman

I wanted to marry somebody who wasn't someone I had to be in any particular mood to want to be around - with close friends, you can be with them no matter what mood you're in.

Jason Bateman

I haven't met a lot of 'Hogan Family' fans.

Jason Bateman

It was a blast. I was doing everything that teenagers do and everything people in their twenties do. I was playing as hard as I was working, which was an effort to really balance my life.

Jason Bateman

Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch.

Jason Bateman

Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it.

Jason Bateman

Acting in something that I'm directing... I'm really enjoying it because, if for no other reason, that particular acting is like reading my mind on every single take. It's kind of efficient, for better or worse.

Jason Bateman

You can say your lines a million different ways and play your character a million different ways and still hit the common, agreed-upon finish line.

Jason Bateman

I was just a lot smarter about not getting caught. I mean, I never stuck anything in my arm, but I certainly enjoyed my youth.

Jason Bateman

As disciplined as I am, I'm also a huge hedonist.

Jason Bateman

I wasn't really interested in doing anything except going from pilot season to pilot season and sowing my oats in the months between and telling my agency to stop sending me movie scripts, because they'd pile up in my house and make me feel guilty because I had to read them.

Jason Bateman

My upbringing as a child was very atypical.

Jason Bateman

I really like dramas that have a tone of comedy in them or the opposite, and those are done by people like Alexander Payne and Jason Reitman but also Spike Jonze and David O. Russell and Paul Thomas Anderson, the Coen Brothers.

Jason Bateman

If people are going to complain about stereotyping, it's as likely to be Italian-Americans as gay people.

Jason Bateman

Nothing would make me happier than doing nothing but drama for the foreseeable future.

Jason Bateman

I owe everything to 'Arrested Development.' It just shows that everybody is kind of a job away from having relevance again.

Jason Bateman

I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.

Jason Bateman

People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

Jason Bateman

We had, like, the greatest time you could ever imagine doing 'Arrested Development.' And as grateful as we are for the careers we have afterwards, it was - we still miss it.

Jason Bateman

Will Arnett is one of the funniest guys I know. He has seen it all and done it all and come out the other end pretty savvy and pretty strong.

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.
