More quotes by Michael Bay
I make movies for teenage boys. Oh, dear, what a crime.
Michael Bay
It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year.
Michael Bay
There are things that I invented - the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy, for example, or the little wheelie guy, he's not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff - this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it.
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
Directing is not a job. It's more like a career. Which is great!
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
What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, youve got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top.
Michael Bay
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
For me, the great joy is to watch an audience watching what I've made. To hear not a peep from the audience at the right moment, and then to hear the laughs and the cheers.
Michael Bay
Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in 'Transformers.' I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films.
Michael Bay
Why isn't everything exploding?!
Michael Bay
I don't change my style for anybody. Pussies do that.
Michael Bay
The press don't like to say nice things because nice is boring. It's much better to label me the devil. What we do is not brain surgery. We are entertainers, plain and simple, and we're responsible to bring that money back, to make a profit.
Michael Bay
I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.
Michael Bay
You'll hear people say now, 'Oh, I don't want to see something in 3-D. That's wrong, because what they've seen is 3-D done poorly.
Michael Bay
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.
Michael Bay
Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it's, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot.
Michael Bay
I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.
Michael Bay
I'm one of the few directors that actually shoots a lot in camera.
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.
Michael Bay
