More quotes by Jason Bateman
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.

There are worse things than being constantly hired to do anything.
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 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
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.

A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.
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 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.
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
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
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
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
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
I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.
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.
