More From Jason Reitman

Horror is like comedy. woody allen's comedy is going to be very different from ben stiller's comedy which is going to be different from adam sandler's comedy which is going to be different from judd apatow's comedy. they're all comedy, but they're all very different types and you can enjoy all of them. horror is the same way.
Different Way Comedy
I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of christmas. it is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.

I dont think men are that attracted by glamour. i think women are attracted by glamour. i think men are attracted by a sense of friendship.
Men Thinking Glamour
I think that comedy really tells you how it is. the other thing about comedy is that - you don't even know if you're failing in drama, but you do know when you're failing in comedy. when you go to a comedy and you don't hear anybody laughing, you know that you've failed.

The goal with me, and the way i challenge myself as an actor, is to go from genre to genre. i like that. a lot of actors always challenge themselves. but for me the challenge lies not only in getting better, but going from drama to comedy to action or whatever the case may be, and having a wide array of movies in terms of my filmography.

You aren't a bit romantic, are you?" he asked, amused. she sat back and stared at him. she was beginning to think that neal required a keeper. he seemed to have the craziest ideas. "romance? isn't that love stuff?" she asked finally. "it's more than just love. it's color, and-and fire. you don't want things magnificent and filled with-with grandeur," he said, trying to make her understand. "you know, drama. importance. transcendent passion." "i just want to be a knight," kel retorted, putting her used tableware on her tray. "eat your vegetables. they're good for you.
Drama Passion Thinking
Generally speaking, that's good drama - the marriage plot or the tragedy - but the reality of women's lives is that most of us don't get what we wanted, and most of us find ways to have really interesting lives anyway.

Sitting in an automobile was where i first remember understanding how drama works ... hidden in the back seat of a sedan, i quickly realized how deep the chasm or intense the claustrophobia could be inside your average family car.
