More quotes by Will Ferrell
There’s a benefit to losing, you get to learn from your mistakes.
Will Ferrell
I think it just came with me evolving as a person and me understanding that it's not right to judge or to say anything derogatory about other people, especially if I don't know them.
Will Ferrell
If you set up an environment where failing is encouraged then you want to try everything. It's obviously the best way to work.
Will Ferrell
In junior high P.E., I was way too shy to take a shower in front of the other kids. It was a horribly awkward time - body hair, odors... So I'd go from my sweaty shirt back into my regular clothes and have to continue the day.
Will Ferrell
I left 'Saturday Night Live' without a film to go to, and I'd filmed 'Old School' while I was in my last season of the show, and that hadn't come out yet. I was a free agent, in a way, but I knew it was time to leave the show and test the water.
Will Ferrell
I'm a really good swimmer.
Will Ferrell
If you ain't first, you're last!
Will Ferrell
You have to listen a lot, and you have to be open and ready to adjust to anything. It kind of provides a framework that you use all the time. You never really shut off that part of your brain when you're doing something. It's invaluable to have.
Will Ferrell
I laugh like a fool when I watch a movie that I've done several years down the road when it's on cable, i'll just watch and sadly laugh along.
Will Ferrell
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
Will Ferrell
I'm in a glass case of emotion
Will Ferrell
I am a bit of a gourmet chef. I love cooking mostly Thai food. And a lot of times on movies, you have these trailers that have these little ovens and kitchenettes. A lot of actors never use them, but I would cook lunch just about every day.
Will Ferrell
I think politics have gotten vulgar and we comedically portray that.
Will Ferrell
Since I was eight years old, I went to Trinity. I mean, I listened to Reverend Wright since I was a kid and I always heard him preach sermons of love and inspiration.
Will Ferrell
James Caan told me at the end of filming 'Elf' that he had been waiting through the whole film for me to be funny - and I never was.
Will Ferrell
If you're flying with your children, it's best to book them on the same flight and not on one where they have more legroom and are leaving at a different time. They could get there earlier than you, and that causes resentment. Two-year-olds can also never figure out those connecting flights. It just makes it harder, so travel as a family.
Will Ferrell
I know the nature of comedy, and you never know what will happen with the next movie or whether people will find it funny.
Will Ferrell
I always just forced myself to do crazy things in public. In college I would push an overhead projector across campus with my pants just low enough to show my butt. Then my friend would incite the crowd to be like, 'Look at that idiot!' That's how I got over being shy.
Will Ferrell
Whenever someone calls me ugly I get super sad and hug them, because I know how tough life is for the visually impaired.
Will Ferrell
I think you can't do any action without in some way paying homage to John Woo. He's the guy who just invented that sort of next level of poetic nasty action.
Will Ferrell
