More quotes by 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.
Ben Stiller
I've been to Japan but I've never been to China, I'd love to go to China. I don't know, I like to go to places that are remote. So, I think I'd like to do that more. And just sort of also explore not having a structured work life someday, to have more free time to sort of see what happens.

You have to stay in character in between takes.

I was a bad student. I liked archaeology actually, I was interested in maybe becoming an archaeologist but I was such a bad student and had such bad grades that I wasn't going to get into any really good college so I fell back on acting.

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 think this whole celebrity world is weird anyway. Weird and funny and kind of pathetic and yet so right for parody.
Ben Stiller
I don't think it's ever easy to be funny. I find it easy to amuse myself with a certain sort of cynical dark humor that tends toward the meaner side, like my character in Happy Gilmore. Those kinds of characters come easily to me.

It's hard to maintain a sense of dignity in an audition. I have done so many auditions where I've put it out there and have been met with that kind of blank stare - Great! Thanks! OK! Great work! Thanks for coming in! At the door I'm thinking, 'What the hell am I doing with my life?'

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 wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.

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.'

My own parents were touchy-feely.

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 don't even want to think of myself as an actor because it's such an insecure place to go.
