We Were just saying the facts. — Michael Bay

I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned. — Michael Bay

I’m one of the few directors that actually shoots a lot in camera. — Michael Bay

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

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

It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year. — Michael Bay

For me, the great joy is to watch an audience watching what I’ve made. To hear not a peep from the audience at the right moment, and then to hear the laughs and the cheers. — 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

You get the most 3D effect when it starts about three to four seconds, that’s when it starts feeling 3D. And then what you do, quick shots are always flat. — Michael Bay

I have asked paramount pIctures to remove thIs shot ImmedIately from the pIcture, I want to also extend my deepest apology to the famIlIes, and also to the u.s. aIr force. — Michael Bay

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

Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in ‘Transformers.’ I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films. — Michael Bay

Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it’s, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot. — Michael Bay

Maybe I have just a younger voice than many other directors. — Michael Bay

A car is a big thing for anyone going into adulthood, it’s a big seminal moment. — Michael Bay

Directing is not a job. It’s more like a career. Which is great! — Michael Bay

You’ll hear people say now, ‘Oh, I don’t want to see something in 3–D. That’s wrong, because what they’ve seen is 3–D done poorly. — Michael Bay

Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism. — Michael Bay

When you’re fast when you’re shooting, there are great things that you discover. By being fast you also sometimes get more time to experiment. — Michael Bay

I don’t change my style for anybody. Pussies do that. — Michael Bay

Why isn’t everything exploding?! — Michael Bay

I make movies for teenage boys. Oh dear, what a crime. — Michael Bay

Fast cars are my only vice. — 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

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

I make movies that audiences like, that I’d want to see. That’s all. — Michael Bay

We tried to be very accurate and obviously keep it in a two–hour movie window. — Michael Bay

It’s great that I get accused of not being politically correct. People need to take themselves less seriously. This world is so screwed up as it is, we’ve all got to relax a bit more. — Michael Bay
