More quotes by Will Ferrell
James Caan told me at the end of filming 'Elf' that he had been waiting through the whole film for me to be funny - and I never was.
Will Ferrell
If you ain't first, you're last!
Will Ferrell
You know, when I'm looking at these '08 yachts that are for sale, I think I could have just walked in with a briefcase of cash and put it on the table and walked out with a yacht.
Will Ferrell
'Elf' has become this big holiday movie, and I remember running around the streets of New York in tights saying, 'This could be the last movie I ever make,' and I could never have predicted that it'd become such a popular film.
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
Handling a painful situation in a comedic way is truly the funniest. That is extremely real to me and not kind of clownish. There is a thin line though you can't overdo it.
Will Ferrell
It would be great to be able to follow in the footsteps of Bill Murray. I really respect his ability as a comedian, obviously, but even more so as an actor.
Will Ferrell
You want every movie to be a hit. But every painting isn’t a masterpiece.
Will Ferrell
I would love to play Simon Cowell in a movie - heck, I would love it. It would be my dream role.
Will Ferrell
I've got no dark secrets, I wasn't beaten up, my parents were kind to me and there was a low crime rate where we lived. Maybe that's where the comedy comes from, as some sort of reaction to the safe, boring suburbs.
Will Ferrell
In the fourth grade, I learned how to fake walking into a door. You know, you hit it with your hand and snap your head back. The girls loved it.
Will Ferrell
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
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.
Will Ferrell
Inappropriate behavior makes me laugh.
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 guess destiny isn't the path chosen for us, but the path we chose for ourselves.
Will Ferrell
Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
Will Ferrell
Black, white, yellow, brown - we wanted somebody who would do right by us. And I think because Obama was that person, whether he was black or white, he was chosen
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 left home to go to college, and then I moved back home. I moved back for three years from 21 to 24.
