Will Ferrell
When I first started doing sketch comedy, I promised myself that if I were ever to have any success in this business, I wouldn't hold back. Why get there and play it safe?
Will Ferrell
I'm always in these situations where I forget to separate what is pitched as an idea to the fact that I'm actually going to have to execute it.
Will Ferrell
My wife and I always enjoy going for a jog.
Will Ferrell
I will watch a movie that is quote unquote dark and not get the qualification of what is dark and what is not.
Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell
I would think beer and football go hand in hand.
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
You want every movie to be a hit. But every painting isn’t a masterpiece.
Will Ferrell
As you set off into the world, don't be afraid to question your leaders. But don't ask too many questions at one time or that are too hard because your leaders get tired and/or cranky.
Will Ferrell
A lot of the times you read something and you don't realize that you are going to have to do the things that you read.
Will Ferrell
I love playing the macho guy who looks like an idiot.
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
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
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 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
Though I know consciousness kind of boxes you in, it still encompasses the artists that I knew were conscious throughout history of music - they're the ones that you look at as the legends.
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 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
If you're flying with your children, it's best to book them on the same flight and not on one where they have more legroom and are leaving at a different time. They could get there earlier than you, and that causes resentment. Two-year-olds can also never figure out those connecting flights. It just makes it harder, so travel as a family.
