I don't work in movies and TV because I adore acting, it's because I adore movies and TV.
Jay Baruchel
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
Jay Baruchel
I guess I always have sort of general ideas, but the best stuff would be the stuff that comes to you in the moment, always.

Movies are the greatest art form the world has come up with yet. If you don't use them to the full extent and you don't give people as much as you possibly can, you're doing a disservice to it.
Jay Baruchel
I'm a massive movie nerd. That being said, I could retire tomorrow because I wrote this movie 'Goon' and it came out, and it connected and it's a wonderful flick that I think is beautiful and then it had this wonderful life and it means a lot to a lot of people.
Jay Baruchel
I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.

If you want to make god laugh, make a plan.

My mom said to me when I was a little kid, You don't have to hate your job. Just because you see all these unhappy grown-ups doesn't mean you have to be one of them. She said, Find something that you would do for free and find a way to get paid to do it. That's been my guiding principle.

I think sports makes for good drama because it has all the same ingredients as anything worth reading or listening to or watching. Conflict, desire, heartbreak - it's all there.
Jay Baruchel
What I do for a living and how I unwind are one and the same it's a rare special thing.
Jay Baruchel
People always like to have a good time and laugh, and, [among] the vast majority of the seven billion people on this earth, one thing that we all have in common is at some point we all need to pair up and find some sort of significant other, some sort of romantic counterpart.
Jay Baruchel
If it were up to me, every job would be somewhere in Canada.
Jay Baruchel
I know it's going to sound like a cliché, but the key of successful playing a role is to sort of keep it real and earnest and react the way that one would react in those situations. Where the disconnect between the movie and the audience would happen is if you go too big or too crazy with that stuff.
Jay Baruchel
I count absolutely no chickens before they're hatched. In fact, I assume they're all dead in their shells, inside their eggs.
Jay Baruchel
Regardless of how insane it might be, when you dig somebody you just met and you send that first text, goddamn, it's an eternity before you get the reply back.
Jay Baruchel
I have a little sister, and I'm constantly annoyed [by] how terribly written most females are in most everything - and especially in comedy. Their anatomy seems to be the only defining aspect of their character, and I just find that untrustful and it straight-up offends me.
Jay Baruchel
I just adore being on set. I adore storytelling. I can be on a set 70 hours a week and on those weekends, I'll still want to watch movies.
Jay Baruchel
I do feel the weight of being the steward of the greatest sport the world ever came up with. I grew up with a love and admiration for it, so I feel an obligation to portray it as electric and terrifying and exciting and beautiful, and all these sometimes contradicting things that make hockey what it is.
Jay Baruchel
I'd say that the No. 1 attribute you need as an actor is to be malleable. You need to be able to change and tailor what you're doing to what the situation dictates.
Jay Baruchel
I would say that since I was nine years old I've always wanted to write and direct horror movies and action movies. There's never been a time in my life where that wasn't all I wanted to do.
Jay Baruchel
