More quotes by Harold Ramis
I'm a writer-director-actor, which I've always kind of enjoyed. I compared it to the Olympic biathlon. Not only can he cross-country ski, but he's a terrific marksman as well. I want people to say, You mean that writer performed a tracheotomy? That's right, I do everything.
Harold Ramis
I have no trouble selling out—I’m a benevolent hack, in a certain way—but I want to pander for something I believe in.
Harold Ramis
I try to measure the amount of truth in a work rather than just looking at the generic distinction between comedy and drama.
Harold Ramis
When you're a big enough part of the process that the Writers Guild gives you a lot of credit, that's a good thing. It tells me that I've had a significant impact on the film as a writer.
Harold Ramis
I always think that the writer is doing the vast majority of the director's work, in a sense. If you're a writer who is also going to direct, you're doing all your preparation: You're already visualizing everything, you're imagining how the lines are going to be read, you see the blocking in your head, and you know the rhythm and the pacing.
Harold Ramis
You can't love somebody into a state of mental health.
Harold Ramis
When I've written for Bill Murray - I've written six films for him - people would read it and say, Oh, that's so perfectly Bill. He'd read it and say, Are you kidding? I can't say these words. So it's all about perception.
Harold Ramis
I collect spores, molds, and fungus.
Harold Ramis
No one will laugh at how great things are for somebody.
Harold Ramis
It doesn't take any longer to improvise 10 takes than it takes to shoot 10 takes of the same thing. It turns out to be just as responsible from a business point of view as anything else.
Harold Ramis
We all wish we could be in more than one place at the same time. People with families feel guilty all the time-if we spend too much time with our family, we feel we're not working hard enough.
Harold Ramis
I'm not a believer in the pratfall. I don't think it's funny just to have someone fall down.
Harold Ramis
Life doesn't care about your vision. You just gotta roll with it.
Harold Ramis
I've been directing for 25 years almost, and I've only directed nine films in that time because I like to be careful.
Harold Ramis
It's like the old rule-if you introduce a gun into the first act of a play, it's going to be used in the third act. So if you do a movie about criminals, you have to accept there's going to be Some action.
Harold Ramis
I can't imagine a successful comedy movie without a successful comedy performance at the heart of it.
Harold Ramis
You can perceive life as tragic, or you can laugh at the tragedy of it and that turns it into comedy. It doesn't change the circumstances.
Harold Ramis
Just expressing contempt for your leaders doesn't really accomplish anything.
Harold Ramis
Life has all of these contradictory feelings and contradictory results. People spend their whole lives struggling to get what they think they want, and even if they get it, they find that it's either not what they wanted, or it comes with so many unwanted consequences. We're always shut off from pure joy.
Harold Ramis
I'd rather do comedies that strike at some bigger ideas.
Harold Ramis
