A Quote by Jason Bateman

You can say your lines a million different ways and play your character a million different ways and still hit the common, agreed-upon finish line. — © Jason Bateman
You can say your lines a million different ways and play your character a million different ways and still hit the common, agreed-upon finish line.
All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.
I think there's always pieces of yourself that bleed into your character. That's inevitable. In some ways, we have similarities, but in other ways, we're completely different. It's hard to say because I'm an actor living in a world where we're all pretty privileged, and this guy is fighting for his life. They're very different circumstances. Within those circumstances, there are probably ways that we react to certain situations that are similar.
I'm influenced in a million different ways by a million songs that I've heard and digested.
I think carrying your gut, or your instincts, through all the learning, is one of the most important things. You learn to prepare for a part in different ways, you learn to experiment, what you do for the character - you try working in different ways.
My strength is short game. I love the creative side to it. You can hit a wedge a million different ways. The flop is my fave.
I try to say I love you in a million different ways. That's what I aspire to do. That's what I do best.
There are a million 'oughts' in the world. There's a million ways in which I ought to be serving the world. But the ways I'm gifted to serve and the opportunities that come to me to serve are not a million.
There's a million different ways you can look at a moment.
Mad Season changed my life in a million different ways.
When I have to play the same role every day, I have the flexibility to play the character in so many different ways. It's almost like playing five different roles.
'One Day' is definitely heartbreaking in a few ways, but one of the main ways is that my character and Jim Sturgess's character are just people from two different worlds who love each other in so many ways and can't quite seem to get it together.
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
Travelling, in general, opens your mind to so many different cultures and different ways of thinking and different ways of seeing stuff. I definitely feel like it has an influence on my music to be a bit more broader and a bit more open.
What I don't like about teaching is hearing myself say the same thing. I mean, you just want to sort of shoot yourself after a while. But you don't have a million different ways of thinking about what you have been thinking about for many years. And then there's the truism that you're only as good as your students. If they're not into what's going on, it doesn't matter who you are.
A song can go a million different ways once you first get it down on tape.
It's very common to think that we're always evolving, that we've changed so much from our younger selves, that within decades we've transformed into these different people. We like to think that. I feel in some ways that I am still so much my younger self. There are ways that I'm different: I feel like I'm wiser and kinder. But I think a lot of the impulses are still the same. I learned that.
