More quotes by Jay Roach
When Dalton Trumbo and his friends joined the Communist Party it was 1943, and Russia was our ally in World War II. This was connected to a very popular movement of artists and intellectuals at that time towards anti fascism, and an alliance with the union movement.
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
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
We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.
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 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
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.
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 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
I like to shoot a lot of choices. I like a lot of stuff - and so I push to go faster, to shrink the time between the takes so that the takes are what you're spending all your time on.
Jay Roach
I think we'll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.
Jay Roach
When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.
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
Dalton Trumbo was constantly criticizing the membership [in the Communist Party], and was opposite to being a loyalist.
Jay Roach
I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries.
Jay Roach
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.
Jay Roach
I am partisan to some extent on the Democratic side, but I consider myself more of an independent.
Jay Roach
[ Dalton Trumbo] always said he fought so many fights, all seemingly different, but all about the concepts of fairness and justice.
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.
