More quotes by 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
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
Hollywood is a business and movie studios are only going to do what's going to make money. It's not an altruistic thing. They are blatant grabs for money. Responsible studios want to make quality pictures, but at the same time nobody is going to make quality pictures they know aren't going to make any money.
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.
Paul Feig
Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails.
Paul Feig
What I do as a director is really create a safe environment that everyone can feel very comfortable in and experiment within so that they don't hold back anything. You never ever want someone to go, 'Oh I shouldn't have done that.' There isn't anything you shouldn't try. If it's terrible, who cares?
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
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
For years, it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles, especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.
Paul Feig
I'm just an enormous British comedy fan.
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.
Paul Feig
Every director should take an acting class.
Paul Feig
What you want is the thing that critics love and audiences love, but that's the hardest thing to do.
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 really feed off of The Walking Dead.
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.
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
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
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.
