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
I don't really have aspirations to be Tom Hanks.
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
Since I was eight years old, I went to Trinity. I mean, I listened to Reverend Wright since I was a kid and I always heard him preach sermons of love and inspiration.
Will Ferrell
What’s the point of being bad when there’s nothing good to stop you?
Will Ferrell
It's tough for me to get rid of clothes. I grew up in a household with a limited budget and we really had to make our nice clothes last, and so now I'll get free pairs of shoes and this, that and the other and I'll be like, 'Oh great!' even though it stresses me out that I don't have enough room to put them, I can't throw them away.
Will Ferrell
I've always associated consciousness with artists like Bob Marley or Joni Mitchell or Bob Dylan. You know, artists that really talked about what was going on in the world and really artists that are timeless.
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'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
If you set up an environment where failing is encouraged then you want to try everything. It's obviously the best way to work.
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
There's nothing sexy about Orange County.
Will Ferrell
I look good. I mean, really good. Hey everyone! Come and see how good I look!
Will Ferrell
Whenever someone calls me ugly I get super sad and hug them, because I know how tough life is for the visually impaired.
Will Ferrell
I grew up in an entertainment family, and so I saw how susceptible you are to the ups and downs of this business.
Will Ferrell
You definitely feel a little exposed, because some of your friends call you like, Man, I need that much.
Will Ferrell
Grief is nature’s most powerful aphrodisiac.
Will Ferrell
I've always loved watching the news on TV. As a kid, I loved watching Walter Cronkite, for some reason.
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'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.
