More quotes by 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
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've never taken a script to the stage or to principal photography and said, This is perfect. This is as good as it can possibly be. It's not Shakespeare, you know you know it can probably be better.
Harold Ramis
Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.
Harold Ramis
Some people have a fear of rejecting all the security that comes with family, church and state. They become fundamentalists.
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 never read Playboy before I started working there and stopped reading it the day I quit.
Harold Ramis
Just expressing contempt for your leaders doesn't really accomplish anything.
Harold Ramis
No matter what I have to say, I'm still trying to say it in comedic form.
Harold Ramis
Most comedy is not very ambitious. You probably can't name more than a handful of comedies that would qualify for Best Picture.
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
When you're young and you first see the extent and depth of the world's hypocrisy, it's fun to go after it. But by the time you're sixty, it's so commonplace. What's the point in ridiculing people anymore? Their existence itself is a sort of sick joke.
Harold Ramis
I'd rather do comedies that strike at some bigger ideas.
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
The cutting room is where you discover the optimal length of the movie.
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
You can't love somebody into a state of mental health.
Harold Ramis
Whenever a critic mentions the salary of an actor, I'm thinking, He's not talking about the 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
Analyze This is a good movie because Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal are really good. But without the material to put on the play, of course, they couldn't be good. For me, it starts with the writing.
Harold Ramis
