More quotes by Ben Stiller
Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.
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
I don't think it's ever easy to be funny. I find it easy to amuse myself with a certain sort of cynical dark humor that tends toward the meaner side, like my character in Happy Gilmore. Those kinds of characters come easily to me.
Ben Stiller
I love New York. I was sad, depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny, have a distraction.
Ben Stiller
You have to stay in character in between takes.
Ben Stiller
I'm just not a naturally cheery person. I'm naturally moody. I know that from people who spend a lot of time with me. People who spend a lot of time with me may not wish to spend a lot more time with me.
Ben Stiller
The cliches are that it's the most generic Starsky and Hutch plot you can find.
Ben Stiller
I don't play hockey at all. I'm not comfortable on skates.
Ben Stiller
It's great to work with the people who make you laugh and who are funnier than I am.
Ben Stiller
As a kid I had dreams about being successful, thinking it would be cool. Then, when I was in my 20s, I really thought I had it much more figured out than I do now.
Ben Stiller
The big-name stars . . . are always going to be playing what they've played before if they want to remain so-called A-list stars. That's why someone like Johnny Depp is doing more interesting roles not caring about the size of the movie.
Ben Stiller
Very quickly after meeting Dustin, the whole image I had of him was shattered.
Ben Stiller
I don't know what that weid fantasy is that makes people go, Oh, you must have had a great childhood.
Ben Stiller
When you have kids you want to be able to go to movies and take the family too, and actually all enjoy it together. I don't think there are that many great, live action family movies that everybody can enjoy.
Ben Stiller
All those rumors about her being underweight are trash. She's [Calista Flockhart] gorgeous.
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
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.
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
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 think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.
