Image
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.

I'm a Progressive. Much in the same way our founding fathers - who, oddly enough, wouldn't get elected today - were Progressives.
Will Ferrell
Image
I have the physique a lot of people dream about having. It's my obligation to share it with the world.

Image
I built a jail in my closet and I would incarcerate my family from time to time.

Now we have food networks and everything. CNN was the beginning of all of that.

By the time I was ready for college, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I think I secretly wanted a show business career, but I was suppressing it.

I'd love to become like Bill Murray, who was so funny on 'Saturday Night Live' and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with 'Lost in Translation' and 'Rushmore.' I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great.

I would love to work with Bill Murray. I've always been such a big fan. I think he's obviously a great comedic actor but a really interesting actor.

I will watch a movie that is quote unquote dark and not get the qualification of what is dark and what is not.
Will Ferrell
Image
I've got no dark secrets, I wasn't beaten up, my parents were kind to me and there was a low crime rate where we lived. Maybe that's where the comedy comes from, as some sort of reaction to the safe, boring suburbs.

I was a strange kid in that, while most kids hate school and want to turn 18 or 21, I loved high school.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

If you ain't first, you're last!

That's what I think works the best, and what I think makes the best comedy - something that's completely committed and more approached as an acting exercise, as opposed to being worried about whether to be funny or not. The comedy comes from the context.
Will Ferrell
Image
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.

But for fatherhood advice, try to look your child in the eye.... Get to know their name that becomes important when you want something. And remember to feed them. That's about all you need.

There’s a benefit to losing, you get to learn from your mistakes.

New York is a fun town to go out in. During my twenties and into my thirties I had a good time partying, yes. But nothing where I woke up and I thought that I had a problem.

It's nice to be in a place where I can be a little more selective, and to be sought out for ideas that I have.
