“I enjoy editing when I'm directing, but when someone else is directing...” — Jason Bateman Quote

I enjoy editing when I'm directing, but when someone else is directing, that's their film to cut.

I'm just going to try to stay employed. That's the tough part in this business.

I'm never happier than in the bed.

I think things that are really, really not good are easy to see. But films that are decent can either be made good or great based on the execution. At the end of the day, it's always a crapshoot about the execution, the level of taste, in any department.

I wanted to marry somebody who wasn't someone I had to be in any particular mood to want to be around - with close friends, you can be with them no matter what mood you're in.

Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.

The things that I'm interested in directing are fiction, because then you're not married to a particular reality.

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

I really, really love directing films.

I started off as a director, so when I see other actors directing, it gives me hope that maybe they'll put me into that position at some point, too.
