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.

More quotes by 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.

I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.
Paul Feig
In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.
Paul Feig
At the end of the day, I just want a movie that's great, that people are going to love and laugh at and be affected by, and also have an emotional journey.

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
Everybody who's making the movies needs to work hard to make sure they're good. And if you don't show up and see the movies and support them financially, no one is going to make them. It's going to change unless it makes money. That's the long and short of it. You have to give in to the fact that it's a business.

The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. I was always such a late developer. I was last to walk. I was last to ride a bike. I was last to have sex. That's why it's fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen.
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
I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies, because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex, and all the popular kids, and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons, with tape on their glasses. I never saw 'my people' portrayed accurately.

At the end of the day if you want to entertain people, you've got to take your ego out of the equation.

You can never have a thousand percent batting average on jokes - it's just never going to happen.
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.

I hate that we're always called the all-female Ghostbusters, because you wouldn't refer to the original as the all-male Ghostbusters.

I'm just an enormous British comedy fan.

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.

I love the pictures of Old Hollywood, seeing the directors dressed in suits and ties. Even the grips would be wearing ties. But the biggest thing is when I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be an adult, and I think what happens with most guys is that no one wants to be an adult anymore. So they're dressing like kids.

What you want is the thing that critics love and audiences love, but that's the hardest thing to do.

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
If you made a movie that no man in the world went near, but every woman in the world went to, you'd have the highest grossing movie of all time. You'd make trillions of dollars. But I don't want to make movies that are just for the ladies. I don't want to ghettoize any audience that way.

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.
