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.

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.

I was one of the richest rappers in 2008. But it was definitely a strange feeling.
Will Ferrell
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 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.

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

I just kind of have a comedic looking body, I guess. If anything I really have to exercise just to not look too fudgy, otherwise I would just keep going and going.

I've never had a yard sale, ever, in my life. I don't know if I ever thought about stuff I would get rid of.
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.
Will Ferrell
Image
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
Image
I'm always in these situations where I forget to separate what is pitched as an idea to the fact that I'm actually going to have to execute it.

Why not work with your friends? It's working with people you know, and you share the same sensibility.
Will Ferrell

I love watching people be totally committed in a very real way to stupid situations. I find it's not so much trying to be funny, it's trying to be real in a messed up context. That's comedy to me.

I'm a Cancer I'm music passionate. I like long walks on the beach.

You want every movie to be a hit. But every painting isn’t a masterpiece.

I think whatever an artist does, it just has to be quality and good. I think the way Kanye's doing what he's doing with the Auto-Tune is actually creative because he just writes good melodies. He just writes good songs. He's just gifted.

I often don't think a lot about the ramifications of anything I do.
