More quotes by Jason Bateman
I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.
Jason Bateman
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.
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 just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me.
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'm in bed by nine. Let's get on with it.
Jason Bateman
I'm not much of a party guy anymore.
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'm not a Hollywood party guy.
Jason Bateman
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.
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
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.
