More quotes by 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
There's a sense here in L.A. that everybody's aware of everybody all the time. It's funny but we choose it. People who are here want to be here, including me.
Ben Stiller
If you look at my eyes when I'm dancing, you'll see that glazed look.
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
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
Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
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
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 enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.
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
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
Very quickly after meeting Dustin, the whole image I had of him was shattered.
Ben Stiller
My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.
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
Fashion is so over the top.
Ben Stiller
The cliches are that it's the most generic Starsky and Hutch plot you can find.
Ben Stiller
I think this whole celebrity world is weird anyway. Weird and funny and kind of pathetic and yet so right for parody.
Ben Stiller
Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples.
Ben Stiller
A eugoogoolizer...one who speaks at funerals...Or did you think I was too stupid to know what a eugoogooly was?
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.
