More quotes by 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
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
I always feel in improv that nothing is ever as good once it's repeated.
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
In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.
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
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.
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
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
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
My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.
Paul Feig
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
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.
Paul Feig
I really feed off of The Walking Dead.
Paul Feig
Who knew there were so many ghosts to be busted in the world?

At the end of the day if you want to entertain people, you've got to take your ego out of the equation.
Paul Feig
What you want is the thing that critics love and audiences love, but that's the hardest thing to do.
Paul Feig
The greatest way for people to experience a comedy is to go in not knowing anything about it. But because of marketing, it's impossible. Marketing meaning that in order to get people to come you can't just go, 'Hey, there's a great movie - we're not going to show you anything from it but trust us!
Paul Feig
You need to have one element about your outfit that is imperfect, that says you live in it and you're not letting it control you. I think men and women both need a softness about them with formal wear.
Paul Feig
Every director should take an acting class.
