The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Jon Favreau
- When I’m working with improv people, I give them the green light to just bring it and try things.
- I don’t think I’m egotistical as much as I’m taking responsibility for what I’m putting out there.
- There is nothing as fun as making a cultural splash with a movie. Sometimes the splash happens, like with ‘Swingers,’ where it sort of slowly ripples out, yet everybody could quote it. Or it could be something like ‘Elf,’ where you just make a big splash right off the bat when the movie comes out.
- For years, I was watching other people have so much fun playing out their version of authorship, like Louis C.K. and Larry David. As I watched them do their thing, I began to pine for the days when I had a lot less expected of me and, often, a lot more creative freedom. The courage that those guys have is always captivating to me.
- I remember the first script I wrote after ‘Swingers’ was a Western, and I just couldn’t get it made.
- Half the people think I write Obama’s speeches; the other half think I’m on ‘Entourage.’ So I’m at the level of fame where people kind of know who I am, but they confuse me with other people.
- I like happy endings in movies. I think life has a happy ending. When it’s all said and done, it’s all something worthwhile, and I want my movies to reflect that. There are enough things to be sad about. When you pop in a movie, let the message be one that’s one of hope.
- Ever since I read ‘Kitchen Confidential,’ I saw a little light bulb go off. Being a chef is like being on a pirate ship; it’s not like ‘Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?’ or whatever my impression was as I was growing up.
- Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman Begins’ set the bar very high for the superhero movie, as it showed that you could get a great cast for these movies and take a real filmmaker’s perspective.
- I cooked a little bit in my first movie; I did a movie called ‘Made.’ For the little kid in the movie, I do a scene where I’m preparing a pasta puttanesca. I always loved watching that scene.
