More quotes by 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 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.
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
What about Santa's cookies? I suppose 'parents' eat those, too?
Will Ferrell
Alcohol is like Photoshop for real life
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 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 like challenging myself. I like the challenge of rapping to fast beats, rapping to beats that are super slow, whatever. I like the challenges, so I'm not afraid to take on any piece of music and create a song to it if it feels right to me.
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'm really an artist of feeling. I like creating things when it feels right.
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
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
You want every movie to be a hit. But every painting isn’t a masterpiece.
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
When you're doing an out-and-out comedy, the notion of preparing for a character - I hope I don't reveal too much of myself here - but, uh, no, I'm not doing anything.
Will Ferrell
Molly Shannon and I used to always talk about that we really felt strongly that we were comedic actors, that we weren't comedians. You just played things real and the comedy came out of the context.
Will Ferrell
I built a jail in my closet and I would incarcerate my family from time to time.
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
I've always loved watching the news on TV. As a kid, I loved watching Walter Cronkite, for some reason.
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
