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.

More quotes by 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'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
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 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 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 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 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
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 enjoy acting, and it's given me a ton of happiness and it's affected my life and my family's lives in ways that we just can't imagine.
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
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
Jay Baruchel
I don't work in movies and TV because I adore acting, it's because I adore movies and TV.
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
I like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.
Jay Baruchel
I'm a chronic ad-libber. So whoever hires me, often to their chagrin, should know that I will be talking a bunch of smack.
Jay Baruchel
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
At one time or another, everyone's had the rom-com itch that needs to be scratched.
Jay Baruchel
You grow up skinny in Canada in working-class Montreal, you're definitely the underdog.
Jay Baruchel
My vanity and narcissism will never let me go too far.
Jay Baruchel
If it were up to me, every job would be somewhere in Canada.
