At the end of the day, audiences just want to laugh and be entertained. They want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities.

More quotes by Brett Ratner
You've got to think about how to do things for the right price. You have to shoot in different places to be creative and get tax rebates.
Brett Ratner
Producing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job. When you're the director, you kinda do all the work. I'm actually going tonight to check the prints of my movie even though the premiere's tomorrow night.
Brett Ratner
I want to print books by people in the film industry.
Brett Ratner
I fear God and respect God and love God.
Brett Ratner
You can't reinvent the wheel. You've got to just take the best from all the other shows and try to make it work, because there's the live show Gods that dictate if there are going to be any surprises, if there's a very commercial film that's a Best Picture. There are a lot of things that are out of my control, but I do my best.
Brett Ratner
You can't show a four-hour movie in a theater, really.
Brett Ratner
I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.
Brett Ratner
People can criticise all day long, I think I've proven myself, I think I deliver. And I agree, box office does not mean a movie's good, but I feel like I'm making good movies and I'm delivering in box office.
Brett Ratner
'Vacation' means titillating my taste buds.
Brett Ratner
I'm not going to turn down an Oscar, but I'm not strategizing for one.
Brett Ratner
I'm a laugher and a lover of comedy.
Brett Ratner
I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.
Brett Ratner
In this day and age, you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.
Brett Ratner
I'm definitely not a nerd.
Brett Ratner
I want people to see my movies. My talent, my sensibilities are what people want to see in the movies... While I have the talent to make the kind of movies people want to see I want to continue to do that, keep making big pictures and make what I love. I’m really just making the films I want to see. There’s not a strategy.
Brett Ratner
I'm not tied to budgets. I'm tied to the story that I want to tell, and how much it's going to cost is up to whatever the economic situation of the studio is.
Brett Ratner
My mom had me when she was 16, and I was an only child, which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn't miss that my father wasn't around.
Brett Ratner
I’m a hypochondriac. Before I go all the way, I send the girl to the doctor and check them for everything. My doctor has a test to tell if you’re going to catch something in the future even.
Brett Ratner
Do I have a small movie in me? Yeah, probably, when I'm 60. But I'm not Hal Ashby, I'm not Roman Polanski. I'm true to myself. Whether you like it or not.
Brett Ratner
I'm trying to be a little bit more mature about my choices and think about what I want to direct next, instead of just jumping into a movie 'cause I want to do it.
