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
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 its in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it. – Ivan Reitman
Movies either work or they dont work and theyre either funny or theyre not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching. – Ivan Reitman
