More quotes by Michael Bay
I'm done with effects movies for now. When you do a movie like 'Transformers,' it can feel like you're doing three movies at once - which is tiring.

I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this business. The only way I get back is with success.
Michael Bay
I was talking to one of the writers about our target audience, and he was insulted that I used that term. But if you're given $60 million to make a film, you'd better know who your target audience is. That's who's going to pay back the bills you run up.
Michael Bay
It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year.

Hollywood has to start finding more original stuff They've got to start by not depending on, 'What can we churn back out? How can we regurgitate this?' That's why I want to redo the feel of Transformers. That's why I wanted to start with a new cast. You want it to feel fresh, and you want to make it feel different than the other three.

I love doing big movies. It's awesome! You have all these toys. The thing I like about this movie is, like they always say, directors have the biggest train sets! Don't tell anyone, but I'd do this for free.

Michael Bay
Its... a hard thing for a director, to think you came up with a shot, something from your mind, and someone died while doing it. Its the worst thing youll ever have to live with. It was very hard for me to get back on the horse again.
Michael Bay
There are many movies that have done it very badly. The studios have gone for quick profits and audiences are feeling angry. People aren't taking the time and spending the money to do it right. I am.
Michael Bay
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
Michael Bay
A car is a big thing for anyone going into adulthood, it's a big seminal moment.

Directing is not a job. It's more like a career. Which is great!

Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it's, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot.
Michael Bay
I don't change my style for anybody. Pussies do that.
Michael Bay
I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.
