I live by 'Earnin' and burnin'.' Meaning, I like to make money and spend it before I even have it. That's the way I live my life.
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.

I’m just a big, hairy, American winning machine!
Will Ferrell
I've always been noted for being original and doing different thing. So for me to hop on the train that's going on would be - shoot, if I wanted to hop on the train, I might as well have hopped on gangsta rap back when it was popular and tried to do that.
Will Ferrell
I grew up in an entertainment family, and so I saw how susceptible you are to the ups and downs of this business.
Will Ferrell
I would think beer and football go hand in hand.
Will Ferrell
I don't know about living on an automatic pilot, but I've had times where I've decided to just test myself and my mettle, and for no good reason other than it's what life is. Even before I was acting, I had, like, one day in high school I decided to just show them my pajamas, just for no good reason.
Will Ferrell
I hate when new parents ask who the baby looks like. It was born 15 minutes ago, it looks like a potato
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.
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
A fashion plate, a rock star in his own mind, Megamind is more showman than deadly menace.
