More quotes by Jason Bateman
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.

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 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
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
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 much of a party guy anymore.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Jason Bateman
Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it.
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 played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.
Jason Bateman
A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.
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
Marathons are good training goals.
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
Not many get a chance to hit the career re-set button.
