More quotes by Ben Stiller
There's an old saying in Hollywood: It's not the length of your film, it's how you use it.
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 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
Fashion is so over the top.

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

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
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
Success doesn't necessarily mean happiness.
Ben Stiller
You have to stay in character in between takes.
Ben Stiller
My own parents were touchy-feely.
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
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
Zoolander was more of my own sensibility.
Ben Stiller
Very quickly after meeting Dustin, the whole image I had of him was shattered.
Ben Stiller
Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
