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.

More quotes by Jason Bateman
Guys like Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Sacha Baron Cohen, they do things you love to watch. I like to do the other half.
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
I'm in bed by nine. Let's get on with it.
Jason Bateman
I'm not much of a party guy anymore.
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
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.
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.

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

Jason Bateman
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
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 just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me.
Jason Bateman
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.
Jason Bateman
I'm a guy who is a little bit complicated and is a little bit in his own head and is not the most free-spirited, fun-loving kind of guy.
Jason Bateman
I can be on a telephone call, and be emailing or texting somebody else, as well. I would imagine everyone appreciates that efficiency of communication. I see it as a huge positive.
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'm not a Hollywood party guy.
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
Not many get a chance to hit the career re-set button.
Jason Bateman
Marathons are good training goals.
