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

Jason Bateman

Jason Bateman
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.
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. 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.
Jason Bateman
There are worse things than being constantly hired to do anything.
Jason Bateman
If I'm enjoying something, I'd like to be able to just have it all. Frankly, that's the way I'm approaching my career now. I'm a total workaholic.
Jason Bateman
I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could.
Jason Bateman
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.
Jason Bateman
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.
