More quotes by Harold Ramis
Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.
Harold Ramis
No matter what I have to say, I'm still trying to say it in comedic form.
Harold Ramis
I'd rather do comedies that strike at some bigger ideas.
Harold Ramis
Some people have a fear of rejecting all the security that comes with family, church and state. They become fundamentalists.
Harold Ramis
You can't love somebody into a state of mental health.
Harold Ramis
Films are big hits when they touch a lot of people. Things are not funny in a vacuum, they're funny because we respond to some personal dislocation, some embarrassment, some humiliation, some pain we've suffered, or some desire we have.
Harold Ramis
Most people live somewhere on the spectrum of anxiety and depression.
Harold Ramis
No one will laugh at how great things are for somebody.
Harold Ramis
My job is to come up with something that you like and you agree with that you would play wholeheartedly. If we disagree, I may not be doing my job correctly.
Harold Ramis
I think satire is a luxury of literate middle-class people. People who are well fed and relatively secure in their beds can laugh at their troubles. They can enjoy sitcoms. For those who aren't quite so lucky, well, the irony might be lost on them.
Harold Ramis
For me, most comedy scripts fail in the mechanical playing-out of the setup. They'll pay lip service to a moral lesson or a psychological progression.
Harold Ramis
I collect spores, molds, and fungus.
Harold Ramis
I was the little guy who knew how to tie a necktie. It came from having absentee parents. They were tremendously loving and caring people who, by circumstance, had to go to work.
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
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.
Harold Ramis
If you're doing six takes, instead of doing six variations on the same words, why not just throw out the words and make them up as you go along, if you're comfortable with it? It gives the movies a slightly rangier feeling, and more of an accidental feel, but it also makes them edgier.
Harold Ramis
I can't imagine a successful comedy movie without a successful comedy performance at the heart of it.
Harold Ramis
The trick with sequels is, you have to give people what they liked before, yet be innovative enough so they don't feel like they're seeing the same movie.
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
Just expressing contempt for your leaders doesn't really accomplish anything.
Harold Ramis
