I think romance is a tool, comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. i really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer, move people, make you laugh, perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. i hate genre. i like movies that are original in their approach.

Hate Drama Moving

More From Jason Reitman

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
Hate Lying Cutting
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.
Drama Lying Goal
Comedy scares me a lot. i feel like it's way harder than drama. i think my safety net is definitely drama and i would love to kind of be able to be able to push into the comedy world and do something kind of like a christopher guest kind of style show. that, to me, is my kind of comedy. like, ricky gervais comedy. that's my kind of thing.
Drama Thinking Safety
"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."
Hurt Real People
We always have the movies that are more toward real life, but they don't have that much drama or suspense, or we have the full of drama or suspense, but they're far away from real life. always when i was watching a film, films with good drama, i was thinking, "i wish they were more close to real life." but when i was watching real life films i was thinking, "well i wish it had more drama." i've tried, in the movies that i worked so far, to get these two things closer and closer to each other.
Drama Real Thinking
If you want to make an audience laugh, you dress a man up like an old lady and push her down the stairs. if you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an actual old lady down the stairs.
