Quotes

I love doing big movies. It's awesome! You have all these toys. The thing I like about this movie is, like they always say, directors have the biggest train sets! Don't tell anyone, but I'd do this for free. Michael Bay
Michael Bay quote: "A lot of directors don't want the pressure of a movie the size..."
A lot of directors don't want the pressure of a movie the size of Pearl Harbor. But I love it. I thrive on it. Michael Bay
There are things that I invented - the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy, for example, or the little wheelie guy, he's not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff - this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it. Michael Bay
I'm at that point in my life where I definitely want to get married soon. I've got my dogs as surrogates, but I'm ready for kids. Michael Bay
Michael Bay quote: "I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I..."
I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned. Michael Bay
Michael Bay quote: "I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this..."
I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this business. The only way I get back is with success. Michael Bay
There are many movies that have done it very badly. The studios have gone for quick profits and audiences are feeling angry. People aren't taking the time and spending the money to do it right. I am. Michael Bay
Do you know what directors go through? It's just hell. Like, why do I work so hard - to think I'm only going to see this movie five times and then never see it again 'cause I'm so sick of it? What is it worth, honestly? Michael Bay
The press don't like to say nice things because nice is boring. It's much better to label me the devil. What we do is not brain surgery. We are entertainers, plain and simple, and we're responsible to bring that money back, to make a profit. Michael Bay
We don't make movies for critics. I've done four movies; there's millions upon millions upon millions of people who've paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience. Michael Bay
It's... a hard thing for a director, to think you came up with a shot, something from your mind, and someone died while doing it. It's the worst thing you'll ever have to live with. It was very hard for me to get back on the horse again. Michael Bay
I'm done with effects movies for now. When you do a movie like 'Transformers,' it can feel like you're doing three movies at once - which is tiring. Michael Bay
What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, you've got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top. Michael Bay
I can be very reserved about things. My business side isn't shy. I can be like a general. But I've got a shy side. I'm also a lot deeper than people think, and a lot more sensitive. But I don't let people in too much.' Michael Bay
And a lot of the artists and people that we hired were fans of Transformers growing up, so having so many fans working on my crew really kept me on point. Michael Bay
