More quotes by Paul Feig
Man up and add a tux to your wardrobe. Just find one you like and get it well-tailored to your own measurements.
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
If some magic thing happens, and everybody goes completely nuts, and does something we never thought of, the cameras catch everything. That comes from having camera people who are almost like actors and writers themselves.
Paul Feig
I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.
Paul Feig
What's great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.
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
The reason most comedies don't win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.
Paul Feig
What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. The only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.
Paul Feig
Where there seems to be a difference between guys being nuts and women being nuts is that guys are much more open in calling each other on stuff lots of insults and dirty names. Whereas women will talk frankly and honesty, but there also seems to be more passive aggressiveness.
Paul Feig
A lot of comedies fall apart because they just go from joke to joke, and the characters are all sort of being crazy off on their own.
Paul Feig
There's nothing worse than the sequel that's a letdown from the first movie.
Paul Feig
Ever since I was a little kid, I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school, but I kept wearing it.

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
Film, television, and working with a camera is such an intimate art form that if a camera is right on you, and I've got your face filling the screen, you have to be real. If you do anything that is fake, you're not going to get away with it, because the camera is right there, and the story is being told in a very real way.

I'm more of a science head, so I was like, how would a guy use - if there were ghosts - technology to bring them back?
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 hate that we're always called the all-female Ghostbusters, because you wouldn't refer to the original as the all-male Ghostbusters.
Paul Feig
You can never have a thousand percent batting average on jokes - it's just never going to happen.
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
At the end of the day if you want to entertain people, you've got to take your ego out of the equation.
