As long as we, again, kind of keep earning the sequels with material and I'm confident Mike can, I'm in. You know I always want to do those. But I also want to keep going in some of the direction as Meet the Parents has.

More quotes by 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 hope we're all kind of influencing each other now to keep the quality up on those things. They seem to be getting better and better and better as there's not only sort of a film geek audience, there's also a general interest in the overall film consuming population.
Jay Roach
For Bryan [Cranston ] to go back in time and become this larger-than-life and somewhat theatrical guy, who performed his ideas and rhetoric in public in a melodic and flashy way, was a bit of a risk.
Jay Roach
In his life, [Dalton] Trumbo uses wit and comedy to fight these very high-stakes battles.
Jay Roach
I was very interested in politics in college and was heading to be a lawyer. I have a degree in economics and I was interested in it. I hadn't really gotten super serious about it and I'd done a lot of student politics in high school. I really think it would be interesting and fun and challenging to go into politics.
Jay Roach
People are willing to throw our civilization under the bus to discredit the existing system, without any proposed solution to the problems that they're willing to pointing at.
Jay Roach
I think we'll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.

When we did the first sequel [of the Austin Powers] , it was on coattails of the first one doing so well when it was released on video, so we really didn't know what to do with the second plot.
Jay Roach
I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.
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
That's why we had Louis C.K. portray the harder line Communist, to accuse [Dalton] Trumbo of being a hypocrite.
Jay Roach
John Wayne was just a very conservative guy, who had not served in World War II, and he was defensive about that - he almost overcompensated his anti-Communism because of that reason.
Jay Roach
There were two writer's unions in those days[ during World War II ] , the studio-friendly guild called the Screen Playwrights, and the more activist Writer's Guild. The studios were fairly upset that their group wasn't effective, and they sought to punish the other union by labeling them as Communists.
Jay Roach
When something so unjust as the black list happened, [Dalton Trumbo] would come to life in a certain way.
Jay Roach
Even modern wars are fought like revenge tales from some petty grievance.
Jay Roach
I'm pretty opinionated sometimes although my political views change all the time, too. So I'm not very zealous.
Jay Roach
I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries.
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
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
[ Dalton Trumbo] always said he fought so many fights, all seemingly different, but all about the concepts of fairness and justice.
