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.

Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

I always see things that I can improve. But frankly with Stripes, I'm surprised at how effective it is, even today, and how vibrant that movie is and how juicy the performances all are.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

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 Quote

I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

I don't think there will be another Ghostbusters. I think we're all too old to do it. I think we've done it a couple times and there is not that much to get out of it, to do that would be fresh in it.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

I love horror and sci-fi.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins, as is Dave, beyond Ghostbusters.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

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 Quote

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 Quote

In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

It's been about 15 years, and I've never really worked seriously in CGI and I thought that here was an opportunity to do the kinds of things that I was not able to do on Ghostbusters.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

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 Quote

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 Quote

The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

We got some devastating reviews on Animal House at the start.
- Ivan Reitman Quote

Well, actually, I did start out in comedies. Very, very early.
