More quotes by Will Ferrell
I'm the minority in my house sometimes. My wife is Swedish, and we go to Sweden and everyone is rattling off in Swedish. It's like, 'OK, I can just read a book.'
Will Ferrell
It doesn't really exist, this Frat Pack. We run into each other on occasions and we all like each other's films, I guess, but there isn't some big funny restaurant or bar where we all hang out. At least, if there is, they haven't invited me.
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
I think 'SNL' was such a unique thing because it was material you created and you're very comfortable with it, even though the setting was pressure-packed.
Will Ferrell
I think it just came with me evolving as a person and me understanding that it's not right to judge or to say anything derogatory about other people, especially if I don't know them.
Will Ferrell
I remember going with my mom to a random garage sale as a kid and thinking what a cool treasure hunt that whole world was. Only to transition as an adult to think, 'What a gross place that really is.'
Will Ferrell
When I was ten, I wrote an essay on what I would be when I grew up and said I would be a professional soccer player and a comedian in off season.
Will Ferrell
Happens I am very political. I have deep political instincts.

Will Ferrell
In one of my songs, in the song on the Why? remix that I did with Jadakiss in 2004, I said, Why is Bush actin' like they tryin' to get Osama? Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama? This is in 2004 on the Why? remix and I said that because I really had belief that Obama was the right person to be president
Will Ferrell
A lot of people have gotten into comedy because of certain influences in their lives or events that were painful, and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal.
Will Ferrell
It's nice to be in a place where I can be a little more selective, and to be sought out for ideas that I have.
Will Ferrell
But for fatherhood advice, try to look your child in the eye.... Get to know their name that becomes important when you want something. And remember to feed them. That's about all you need.
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
I'm a bit of a gourmet chef. I love cooking - mostly Thai food.
Will Ferrell
I'm a really good swimmer.
Will Ferrell
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.
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
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.
