Growing up sucks, doesn't it? I understand why people wouldn't want to get old - but it'd be one thing if we became a culture obsessed with eating right, doing yoga, going to therapy and becoming at one with ourselves.

Well, Toronto, I consider to be the birthplace of my films. I've made three films and this is the third one to premiere here in the same theater on the same day at the same time - they are my audience. They're the people that I think about while I'm writing, directing, and editing. I specifically make movies for them. Jason Reitman audiencebirthplaceday share on social
I grew up on movie sets, I'm comfortable on sets. A movie set is like a circus. I don't understand why moviemaking has to be such an insane environment. Jason Reitman circuscomfortableenvironment Change image and share on social
I don't want to make films that give you the answer. If there is a message to my films - and I hope there isn't - it's to be open-minded. Jason Reitman answerfilmgive Change image and share on social
