Jon Favreau quotes:

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.

Thankfully, I have a background as an actor, and you learn how to live in that world of not knowing what's going to happen next.

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 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.

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

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 think that anything that leads to creativity and good work is good.

Everybody loves a hit. There is nothing as fun as making a cultural splash with a movie.

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