More quotes by Paul Feig
I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.
Paul Feig
Any ensemble - they didn't call it the all-male Expendables, for example. But it's Hollywood's fault that people say that, because there have been so few movies that have allowed women to have these leading roles, so that's Hollywood's fault.
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
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
As tempting as it seems to wear tennis shoes with your tux, don't do it. I think it looks ridiculous. If you're 14 years old, maybe give it a shot. In general, don't portray anything that says 'I'm too cool and I don't care.
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
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
My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.
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
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'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
Who knew there were so many ghosts to be busted in the world?
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
I always felt, and still feel, one of my best strengths as a director is having been an actor for a long time. Nobody knows actors and their insecurities and strengths and everything more than somebody who's done it before.
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
I can't impress enough upon people that if you tell an honest story that people relate to and people believe and invest in, you can do anything.
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
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
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
