More quotes by 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
The funny guy doesn't get the girl until later in life. High school, college, everyone still wants the brooding, dangerous guy you shouldn't have.
Will Ferrell
Every time I do a partnership with the corporation, it's usually - I mean, it is - reflective of me and they really want who I am. They want what I've established for my brand and the respect and quality that I've established.
Will Ferrell
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.
Will Ferrell
I often don't think a lot about the ramifications of anything I do.
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
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'm a Progressive. Much in the same way our founding fathers - who, oddly enough, wouldn't get elected today - were Progressives.
Will Ferrell
I still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.
Will Ferrell
I think with the success of, like, every summer there has been a couple R-rated comedies that have done so well I think it is so nice to see that people are turning out to see these movies, and it doesn't seem to be as big a stigma with the studios anymore.
Will Ferrell
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.
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
I was one of the richest rappers in 2008. But it was definitely a strange feeling.
Will Ferrell
I'm a cotton-headed ninny muggins.
Will Ferrell
You want every movie to be a hit. But every painting isn’t a masterpiece.
Will Ferrell
I guess destiny isn't the path chosen for us, but the path we chose for ourselves.
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
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.
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 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.
