Will Ferrell
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.
Will Ferrell
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 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
