More quotes by Ben Stiller
I don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.
Ben Stiller
I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.
Ben Stiller
When I was growing up, This is Spinal Tap [1984] was the ultimate comedy, and it was the kind of thing I wanted to do. But you get to a point with parody where you can't go much further because ultimately it's feeding off of somebody else's creativity.
Ben Stiller
My own parents were touchy-feely.
Ben Stiller
I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.
Ben Stiller
I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.
Ben Stiller
It's what I wanted to do with my life. Not necessarily just direct Jim Carrey movies, but to direct and act and write and create and along the way discover what it is that I'm about.
Ben Stiller
Words can only hurt you if you try to read them. Don't play their game!
Ben Stiller
I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.
Ben Stiller
I don't play hockey at all. I'm not comfortable on skates.
Ben Stiller
Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples.
Ben Stiller
I wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.
Ben Stiller
When we were visiting New York City, I took my kids to the same playground where I went growing up. It was fun to feel that connection of having gone there as a kid and being there as a parent.
Ben Stiller
All those rumors about her being underweight are trash. She's [Calista Flockhart] gorgeous.
Ben Stiller
When I didn't have a family, I was much more of a workaholic. I still like to work, but I also want to be home with them. As you get older, you realize you need balance. If it's not fun, what's the point?
Ben Stiller
I don't even want to think of myself as an actor because it's such an insecure place to go.
Ben Stiller
I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !
Ben Stiller
Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it.
Ben Stiller
Success doesn't necessarily mean happiness.
Ben Stiller
Paul is Starsky, and I met him before shooting. He was very kind and encouraged us to go with what we wanted to do. It was very sweet to see them back with the car after 25 years.
