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?

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
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.
