More quotes by 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
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 like writing strong women, because as a straight male, there's nothing more attractive to me than a strong girl.
Jay Baruchel
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
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 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 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
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'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
At one time or another, everyone's had the rom-com itch that needs to be scratched.
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 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 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
My vanity and narcissism will never let me go too far.
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
You grow up skinny in Canada in working-class Montreal, you're definitely the underdog.
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 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
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
If you want to make god laugh, make a plan.
