More quotes by 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
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 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 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
What I love about [TV] is this: It's a specific thing to be able to tell a satisfying, rewarding story in less than 25 minutes. Not everyone can pull that off. There's something really cool about giving lit people a bunch of little mini movies.
Jay Baruchel
At one time or another, everyone's had the rom-com itch that needs to be scratched.
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
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
In the best-case scenario, the audience sees themselves in your shoes. The only way you can do that is if you try to play it as if it was happening to you.
Jay Baruchel
My vanity and narcissism will never let me go too far.
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
You grow up skinny in Canada in working-class Montreal, you're definitely the underdog.
Jay Baruchel
If it were up to me, every job would be somewhere in Canada.
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 count absolutely no chickens before they're hatched. In fact, I assume they're all dead in their shells, inside their eggs.
Jay Baruchel
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.
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'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
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
