More quotes by 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
I can't imagine a successful comedy movie without a successful comedy performance at the heart of it.
Harold Ramis
I realized that my righteous indignation was a form of entertainment for me. I loved getting pissed off at injustice. I didn't do anything about it, I just liked the feeling of being pissed off.
Harold Ramis
Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.
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
You don't have to know much, just a little bit more than everybody else.
Harold Ramis
Just expressing contempt for your leaders doesn't really accomplish anything.
Harold Ramis
Billy Crystal knows how to make people laugh. He's got 30 years on stage... there's no telling him what's funny.
Harold Ramis
We tell our kids that policemen are good and God protects us and our country is noble, and at a certain point - and for some it comes quite early, five or six years old - we start to realize that it's all a facade.
Harold Ramis
Most people live somewhere on the spectrum of anxiety and depression.
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
If Chevy Chase had not been an actor, he might have been a very popular guy in advertising or whatever field he would have gone into, because of his charisma.
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
My only conclusion about structure is that nothing works if you don't have interesting characters and a good story to tell.
Harold Ramis
I never read Playboy before I started working there and stopped reading it the day I quit.
Harold Ramis
You can't not have feelings about country clubs, whichever side you're on.
Harold Ramis
I used to be married to a woman who pursued every spiritual trend with tremendous passion and dragged me along. I don't believe in anything. I'd seen mediums and readers.
Harold Ramis
I'm sure that the liability for doing a tracheotomy would be tremendous. You make one mistake, and it's over. Most doctors won't even do it.
Harold Ramis
I'm thinking of doing a marital comedy for one of the studios, but I want it to be so painful that it'll have a profound effect on married couples who see it together.
Harold Ramis
I have tons of rescuing fantasies based on the movies I saw when I was growing up. I wanted to be Robin Hood and the Three Musketeers and the Scarlet Pimpernel.
