More quotes by 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
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 still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.
Will Ferrell
I guess destiny isn't the path chosen for us, but the path we chose for ourselves.
Will Ferrell
I was never a class clown or anything like that, but I do remember being in the first grade and my teacher, Mr. Chad, told the class one day that we were going to do some exercises. He meant math exercises, but I stood up and started doing jumping jacks. To this day, I don't know what possessed me to do that, but all my friends cracked up.
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
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
I'm a sex addict. It's my cross to bear. It's a real disease with doctors and medicine and everything!
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
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
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
It's the fastest who get paid and it's the fastest who get laid.
Will Ferrell
It's very easy for me to play silly, but to reveal something closer to you, that's so much harder.
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'm a panicked karaoke participant because I am always searching for a song in the moment. I don't have my go to song. I will be driving along and I will be like, That should be my karaoke song! and then I forget what song it is.
Will Ferrell
Inappropriate behavior makes me laugh.
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
I'd love to become like Bill Murray, who was so funny on 'Saturday Night Live' and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with 'Lost in Translation' and 'Rushmore.' I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great.
Will Ferrell
I think anyone who has, you know, is in any sort of artistic pursuit, kind of goes up and down with the way they feel about their work. And I, for the most part, am pretty happy person. But, yeah. I go through definite periods of time where I'm not funny. I'm not good. I'm - I don't feel original.
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.
