I really enjoy the consolation when I'm having to cut loose stuff I love, of saying 'Well, at least it will make it onto DVD.' There's a couple of scenes which I liked very much, but couldn't fit them into the film that are on there.

Dalton Trumbo was constantly criticizing the membership [in the Communist Party], and was opposite to being a loyalist.
Jay Roach
It seems like you can't actually have really bad hair or be bald and run for President of the United States.
Jay Roach
Bryan [Cranston] created something completely unique, that was earned by its authenticity. That's what gave us the license to push it a bit.
Jay Roach
I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know, on the Austin things, we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one, we thought a lot about it and what could go in.
Jay Roach
I always had a respect and an admiration for people who got into politics. I certainly have always been interested in law and political science.
Jay Roach
I'm not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director's cut of these things. So far they've turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.
Jay Roach
I just always look for stuff that has a character-driven thing.
Jay Roach
I hope I can now use my ability to communicate, without being too precious or serious. It's good to have some levity, even as you're facing some really dark times, to mix it up a bit.
Jay Roach
Even modern wars are fought like revenge tales from some petty grievance.

The first thing we noticed was how flamboyant [Dalton] Trumbo was in real life.
Jay Roach
I'm pretty opinionated sometimes although my political views change all the time, too. So I'm not very zealous.

One of the series of decisions that the great screenwriter John McNamara made was about who to depict. [Ronald] Reagan had a role in HUAC, he was a friendly witness, but never went over-the-top about it.
Jay Roach
On the other track I got to talk with Jon Poll, my editor, and we go into more detail about the decisions we made in both the production and the post-production. So I hope the combination becomes something worth collecting.
Jay Roach
I love Dr. Evil [from Austin Powers] as a walking, talking, narcissistic manifestation of everything screwed up about human existence - his desire to take over the world, and have the world reflect his own power lust.
Jay Roach
I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience.
Jay Roach
It was about the compelling need to make countries get along to prevent war, in contrast with the totally petty and selfish bullshit that drives the individuals who are supposedly in charge of these countries. It's hard to believe that these self-centered people have nuclear weapons that they can fire at any moment.
Jay Roach
I do understand the free market, having my economics degree, and if someone on the right had some good ideas, I'm not so dogmatic that I wouldn't listen to them.
Jay Roach
There's people who actually have a whole science devoted to what makes a sticky meme and that idea of that question of why some ideas about how civilizations work catch on and others don't.
Jay Roach
You can make an idea spread for good but you can also make an idea spread for bad and the power to make an idea spread, memetics, you know which now people talk about memes.

It was an interesting process trying to get Bob to talk about the film because he's such a shy person. He generally likes to talk when he really knows he has something to say.
