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 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
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
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.

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.

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
Sometimes I wondered whether I hadn't let my career get confined to one direction, but lately I've decided to accept the fact that I have this opportunity to be successful doing comedies.
Ben Stiller
If you look at my eyes when I'm dancing, you'll see that glazed look.
Ben Stiller
Success doesn't necessarily mean happiness.
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.

There's an old saying in Hollywood: It's not the length of your film, it's how you use it.
Ben Stiller
I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.
Ben Stiller
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.'
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.
Ben Stiller
I don't play hockey at all. I'm not comfortable on skates.
Ben Stiller
I have not been an easygoing guy. I think it's called bipolar manic depression. I've got a rich history of that in my family.
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.
