More quotes by Will Ferrell
Saturday Night Live is such a comedy boot camp in a way, because you get to work with so many different people who come in to host the show and you get thrown into so many situations and learn how to think on your feet, so filmmaking actually feels slow, in a good way.
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 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
I'm a really good swimmer.
Will Ferrell
Members of the Senate and House, if they want to send troops into war, should be forced to send a family member. That would really make everyone stop and go, 'Ohhh-kaaay.'
Will Ferrell
If you ain't first, you're last!
Will Ferrell
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.
Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell
I often don't think a lot about the ramifications of anything I do.
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 built a jail in my closet and I would incarcerate my family from time to time.
Will Ferrell
I'm professional, I'm allowed to say this. I let him lick my balls. So, that's what you need to get close with your animal.
Will Ferrell
Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet to see who they really are.
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 think a lot of the instincts you have doing comedy are really the same for doing drama, in that it's essentially about listening. The way I approach comedy, is you have to commit to everything as if it's a dramatic role, meaning you play it straight.
Will Ferrell
There's always going to be someone as funny as you or funnier.
Will Ferrell
There are a lot of really funny guys who are very natural in what they do: Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen.

I'm able to come and do a new sound and grow even more and make greater songs because my song-making abilities have grown.
