More quotes by Will Ferrell
Saturday Night Live is such a comedy boot camp in a way, because you get to work with so many different people who come in to host the show and you get thrown into so many situations and learn how to think on your feet, so filmmaking actually feels slow, in a good way.
Will Ferrell
When I was a kid, 'Land of the Lost' was my favorite show, just because it was - in the landscape of Saturday morning cartoons - it was so unique. It was a live-action show and kids were in it, these creatures, these Sleestaks and dinosaurs. Every week was a different adventure. I couldn't wait. I loved it so much.
Will Ferrell
We all know the moon isn't made out of green cheese...but if it was made out of barbeque spare ribs would you eat it?
Will Ferrell
I like challenging myself. I like the challenge of rapping to fast beats, rapping to beats that are super slow, whatever. I like the challenges, so I'm not afraid to take on any piece of music and create a song to it if it feels right to me.
Will Ferrell
I've always associated consciousness with artists like Bob Marley or Joni Mitchell or Bob Dylan. You know, artists that really talked about what was going on in the world and really artists that are timeless.
Will Ferrell
I think 'SNL' was such a unique thing because it was material you created and you're very comfortable with it, even though the setting was pressure-packed.
Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell
There's always going to be someone as funny as you or funnier.
Will Ferrell
I had never supported a political figure - and I went out and supported Obama.
Will Ferrell
I was a strange kid in that, while most kids hate school and want to turn 18 or 21, I loved high school.
Will Ferrell
I think people don't understand that comedy is an outlet for me. Comedy allows me to get outside of myself, and exercise this thing that is still kind of scary to me.
Will Ferrell
I think anyone who has, you know, is in any sort of artistic pursuit, kind of goes up and down with the way they feel about their work. And I, for the most part, am pretty happy person. But, yeah. I go through definite periods of time where I'm not funny. I'm not good. I'm - I don't feel original.
Will Ferrell
Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet to see who they really are.
Will Ferrell
I was one of the richest rappers in 2008. But it was definitely a strange feeling.
Will Ferrell
I speak as much Spanish as anyone who has grown up in Southern California or Texas or Arizona. I had my three years of high-school Spanish and a couple of semesters in college.
Will Ferrell
Aren't we all striving to be overpaid for what we do?
Will Ferrell
I'm the minority in my house sometimes. My wife is Swedish, and we go to Sweden and everyone is rattling off in Swedish. It's like, 'OK, I can just read a book.'
Will Ferrell
You still have that competitive thing where you want to try to make hits. That won't go away, unless the mayor of show business says my time's up.
Will Ferrell
It doesn't really exist, this Frat Pack. We run into each other on occasions and we all like each other's films, I guess, but there isn't some big funny restaurant or bar where we all hang out. At least, if there is, they haven't invited me.
Will Ferrell
I remember going with my mom to a random garage sale as a kid and thinking what a cool treasure hunt that whole world was. Only to transition as an adult to think, 'What a gross place that really is.'
Will Ferrell
