More quotes by Jay Roach
The first thing we noticed was how flamboyant [Dalton] Trumbo was in real life.
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'm pretty opinionated sometimes although my political views change all the time, too. So I'm not very zealous.
Jay Roach
I just always look for stuff that has a character-driven thing.
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
But I always reassure them that as far as my contractual rights can go, I will protect them and make sure that they have approval over every bit of it so that they know I won't show something that's embarrassing.
Jay Roach
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
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 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
In his life, [Dalton] Trumbo uses wit and comedy to fight these very high-stakes battles.
Jay Roach
I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries.
Jay Roach
Even modern wars are fought like revenge tales from some petty grievance.
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
Sometimes perfecting the one thing can be the enemy of getting any traction on anything else.
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
You could get in rehearsals, pre-production, anything that would actually contribute to the understanding of how a film gets made. I actually find those things increase people's interest in a movie and like that better than worrying about showing the tricks behind the curtain.
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 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
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
Dalton Trumbo actually was [ a hypocrite], because he liked his wealth, which was against the grain of being a Communist. I put title cards at the head of the film that explains the context.
