You always want to try and evolve an art form. It's not a very humble ambition it reeks of arrogance. If you can, you want to try to do something that people haven't done before and give people something that they haven't seen.

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
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.

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.
Jay Baruchel
I have a maple leaf tattoo over my heart, quite literally, and my two favorite things on Earth are being in Canada and making movies.
Jay Baruchel
At one time or another, everyone's had the rom-com itch that needs to be scratched.
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 don't work in movies and TV because I adore acting, it's because I adore movies and TV.
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
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.
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
It's something I want to do going forward - make a movie that is commercial and universal and will play in any movie theater or living room in the States or the UK, but is definitively Canadian. I don't think there's such a thing as prohibitively Canadian.
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.
