Improvisation, for me, is when the cameras start rolling, we don't know where we're going and let's just waste people's time and money.

The longer you stay in the job that you do the more you learn about what those around you do. As an actor I've always nosed around apologetically about: oh wouldn't it be interesting if I could do that? I can't imagine not wanting to do this everyday.

I'm not much of a party guy anymore.

I'm in bed by nine. Let's get on with it.

I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.
Jason Bateman
Image
I'm not a 'celebrity'. 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.

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.

I would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title.

It takes some intelligence and insight to figure out you're gay and then a tremendous amount of balls to live it and live it proudly.

I've always felt bad that I never had more information to give people when they asked me about it, but I guess people kind of got frustrated by that and they just started kind of making up their own sort of well, we haven't heard that much or news hasn't changed so it must be going away.

I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could.

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.

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. If it's a situation where the character should look a little bit out of control or do something stupid, it's your job to act into that, in a believable way.

I play around with my Japanese Garden. Since Im half way to 70 today I need to start pruning trees and sharpening plants like an old fart.

I became an adult before I had a kid, which I highly recommend. I just like to throw her around. She's a really good snuggler, and she likes to give kisses and hugs.

What's frustrating as an actor, when you want to work hard, you can only work once that phone rings and then you can only work until the production wraps. Then you have to find another job.

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

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.

I don't get a chance to cry that often on film, so I was hoping that talent would come my way, that day. I cheated, I guess, when I just started looking at my technology device - my iPhone - to look at pictures of my kids, before I did the scene where I had to cry. That was a good trick that I found.

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