Famous quotes by Jon Favreau:

"We're trying to find a seat on the bus."

"John Carter of Mars"

"As we were thinking of Santa Claus we wanted someone who was sort of gruff, but has a heart and there's a familiarity with [Asner]."

"The prospect of [airing on TV] was very enticing to us as we made this. So, as edgy and current as we wanted to make it, we didn't want to date it either."

"Acting is the most fun. I like to do it and it's great that I can still do that, but you know, you don't really have a lot of control over things, so it's real hit or miss."

"I don't think I'm egotistical as much as I'm taking responsibility for what I'm putting out there."

"I find that people...very few people think that what they're doing is bad, and usually the people who think what they're doing is bad it has more to do with guilt."

"I used to be in arts and stuff. But I never was encouraged to...I was...aimed toward the sciences."

"The key to writing real characters is not to treat everybody like a real person and give everybody a good side and a bad."

"At first you want to have a reputation as being talented or funny or...you know...special. As you go through it you just the biggest compliment you can get is to be...to get recognized that you're a real pro and consummate professional."

"I've cut myself out... I've cut scenes out that I was in and that's when you realize that you've got to make the best movie you can."

"I'm a very lazy person by nature. I have to be really engaged, and then I go straight from lazy to obsessive. I couldn't study chemistry, but I could memorize all the books for Dungeons and Dragons. It was ridiculous. The trick is to find what I like to do."

"I've always wanted to call the shots because I would rather fail than not have a chance to figure it out on my own."

"Unfortunately, we are not painters and authors, where we can do something in isolation. We require a lot of money to create what we create. It's almost like being an architect: You can't be an architect and build whatever buildings you want to."

"I don't 'handle' people. It's so much easier to manipulate actors than to really have an earnest discussion with them. It's very easy to say whatever's going to appease them and then turn around and do whatever you want to do. It's difficult to be forthright with people, because the job does not lend itself to that."

"I was the worst extra, I was 'that' guy. I was the guy on the phone trying to get the Oscar for best extra - for best background performance."

"It's great to be able to connect parents with children both emotionally and through humor. I look forward to exploring family entertainment once again and examining the specifics of our day-to-day lives against the backdrop of an extraordinary adventure."

"The irony is that the more unapologetically sexist men are in movies, the more women tend to be attracted to them in person."

"I find that people... very few people think that what they're doing is bad, and usually the people who think what they're doing is bad it has more to do with guilt."
