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.

First of all, the first cut of the movie was like three and a half hours and I walked away going, 'Wow, I know there's like twenty minutes that I can cut - ' when I first saw it 'But I don't know after that.' The first time I put up then in front of people I was like, 'Oh, my God, I can take that out and that out and that out.'

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 don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way.

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.

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.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !

I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. You're making a movie, you hope it's going to be funny, you can't think about how it's going to go over.
Ben Stiller
Very quickly after meeting Dustin, the whole image I had of him was shattered.
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
You have to stay in character in between takes.
Ben Stiller
There's always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you're a fraud after all!
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
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
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
It's great to work with the people who make you laugh and who are funnier than I am.
Ben Stiller
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood - nobody!
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?
