I’d always been a science fiction enthusiast  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) Movies either work or they don’t work and they’re either funny or they’re not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it’s in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I think if people want to see pure sex in the movie, they have the Internet and the extraordinary things are available.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) Everybody says how hard comedy is, but, when it comes time to honor things, whether it’s on a weekly critical basis or whether it’s award time, at that time of the year, comedy is the poor, dumb child of dramatic work.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don’t know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) The home viewing experience is slightly different and there’s room for these kinds of extra excursions.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I don’t think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) It’s sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you’re dealing with.  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I’ve worked with. And I’ve worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) Evolution.. Just the right formula of science and comedy may get moviegoers through the door  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) Well, actually, I did start out in comedies. Very, very early  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don’t know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I’m not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) The real trick for me as a director is to make sure that people don’t start pushing because the harder you push as a perform the less funny it becomes  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I’d love to do a musical actually. My background is in music. I have a bachelors in music. I thought that I was going to be a composer, long ago when I first started. So it was amazingly fun to do those two routines in the film  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it’s in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) The hardest thing for everyone, for the writer, for the director and certainly for the actors, is not to panic when they’re doing a certain line for the tenth time because everything ceases to be funny after it’s been repeated  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I believe that improvisation is really just a directorial tool. It’s a writing tool  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) The home viewing experience is slightly different and there’s room for these kinds of extra excursions  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) It’s sort of the most important thing for acting, is to listen to the person you’re dealing with  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I’ve always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I never like to do parodies. I never do. It’s just not my style of comedy  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) Everybody says how hard comedy is, but, when it comes time to honor things, whether it’s on a weekly critical basis or whether it’s award time, at that time of the year, comedy is the poor, dumb child of dramatic work  (Ivan Reitman Quotes) My sense is, I think it’s okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career  (Ivan Reitman Quotes)
