Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.

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
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?
