Some Barry Levinson's quotes. Goto "Barry Levinson's quotation" section for more.All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens, small moments happen and that's what ultimately works the best for me.

Tags: Expect, Mistakes, TimeFirst of all, just to get Diner made would have been an achievement in that I got a chance to direct.
Tags: Chance, Diner, DirectI got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety.
Tags: Chance, High, WorkSome actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.
Tags: Difficult, Found, SituationApparently nobody really read it, it was a cheap movie, it fit their schedule in terms of things so fine, let the guy make that high school comedy. I used to work with Mel Brooks so they figured oh it's going to be one of those really silly movies and that's how it got made.
Tags: Movies, School, WorkCraig Nelson who is an actor and is in a show called Coach in the United States. We began to do some improvisational stuff and we used to get laughs and things.
Tags: Actor, Show, UsedI got involved with an acting school and studied for a couple years. They used to have improv exercises that you would work on and you would do improvs.
Tags: Acting, School, WorkI never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.

Tags: Chance, Hand, ShowI'm thinking, this is Robert Redford. You know, he's won an Academy Award, he's talking to me about directing a movie he's in. So you just think that it's Hollywood stuff or whatever.
Tags: Talking, Thinking, WhateverIt's finding those nonsensical pieces of conversation that we all do all the time. We do all the time. When we're talking on the telephone, there are arguments with people who agree when they both think that they disagree.
Tags: Both, Talking, TimeIt's those moments, those odd moments that you look for and sometimes by creating this kind of loose atmosphere you find those little moments that somehow mean a lot to an audience when they really register right.
Tags: Mean, Moments, SometimesThe interesting thing about movies, it's not always - y'know, you have to have structure etc and all those things, but an audience responds, in many ways, we walk away and certain things stay in our heads that are memorable.
