In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.

More quotes by Paul Feig
You can never have a thousand percent batting average on jokes - it's just never going to happen.
Paul Feig
My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.
Paul Feig
I was brought up in a very religious household and did a lot of praying throughout a big part of my life and always thought of God as being not only a powerful father figure and the ruler of all time and dimension but also as a friend with whom I could chat and ask questions to and get advice from.
Paul Feig
Women comedy is different than men comedy. Guy comedy is very aggressive, it's about insulting each other, name-calling, and kind of busting each other's chops, and that's not what women's comedy is.
Paul Feig
I don't like weddings. I never have. I find moments in them I really like, but I always look at them like, Oh my God, we have to go to a wedding. My problem with weddings is that they are just too long.
Paul Feig
I always feel in improv that nothing is ever as good once it's repeated.
Paul Feig
Getting away from a white or light colored tuxedo shirt is always a little dangerous. Certain staples shouldn't be mixed with. Light pink or blue is not bad, but again, you're just breaking from a classic.
Paul Feig
Katie Dippold, who I wrote the script with, she's very into ghosts and all that. So I go, Hey, why don't you talk to Katie?
Paul Feig
What's so great about working with really funny women is that vanity comes second. Whatever makes it real and funny, they're going to go for, and it's just great.
Paul Feig
To me, there's nothing funnier than funny people in peril, because it's just a great springboard for people to be at a heightened emotionality and things get funnier.
Paul Feig
The good thing is that I really think that American television is in kind of a second golden age. Even though there's a lot of reality and all those contest shows, which aren't my kind of shows, the scripted stuff that's going on is so good right now because of basic cable. Everyone has stepped it up and realised that people like quality.
Paul Feig
I've never been to a class reunion or anything because I'm always afraid of that one - there's going to be some 'Carrie'-like incident.
Paul Feig
Period costume films are fun to discover, but they're not relatable. It's more, 'Wow, that's cool - did it really look like that back then?' Whereas with a comedy, you're like, 'Yeah, that's me, that's my friends.' No matter what, I want people to relate.
Paul Feig
Hey, I'm like the Wayne Gretsky of the entertainment biz - I have other people do my dirty work while I skate around and get to be a nice guy. What can I say? I'm a coward.
Paul Feig
Little Britain… ever since it first came on… I come here a lot, we have a lot of friends here, my wife used to work with a lot of Brits, so we were always keyed into the hot shows when they first came out. So, I fell in love with Little Britain.
Paul Feig
I just love Kate. [Bieber], to me, is one of the funniest impressions because it's so all encompassing. It's like a total body and soul impression. But that's Kate. Every character she does is that way.
Paul Feig
I'm just an enormous British comedy fan.
Paul Feig
When guys see a movie starring women, they go, That must be filled with these characters I see in these movies who are such a drag. And that's just bad for everybody.
Paul Feig
It's healthy to have older friends. You go, 'Look, I'm younger than them!' That's always the nice thing, if you can be the youngest one in the room at times. Like if you're always the oldest one in the room, you'll start to feel like the oldest person in the world. So get older friends, because they're cool. Get cool older friends.
Paul Feig
That's the thing with women's movies - there's so much about kind of catfighting. And my experience is women aren't - look, we all get in fights with people, but it's not that face-to-face aggression.
