It's funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made but even a quite good romantic comedy can drive me nuts.
From Jason Reitman
I went to college, I went pre-med, I thought I was going to be a doctor.
I am an obsessive flyer, myself.
Humanizing good people is kind of boring and I don't really see the value in it... humanizing tricky characters is exhilarating, and making audience films out of indie subjects excites me.
I think, through comedy, sometimes we're allowed to discuss things that you'd never be able to talk about in a drama.
I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.
'Election' is a movie I'd give a leg to cross the director's name out and put mine in.
When you're young, you want to make every kind of film: musicals, Westerns, horror. Slowly you begin to hear your own voice. I hope people receive what I do as small, personal films that are somewhat contrarian about their main characters.
