More quotes by Will Ferrell
Enjoy the little fun things - like taking your kids to school - before they're all grown up.
Will Ferrell
One of my first memories of being a kid was, 'I want to have a real job when I grow up.' And to me that meant you wear a suit and a hat and carry a briefcase and go to your job.
Will Ferrell
I have the physique a lot of people dream about having. It's my obligation to share it with the world.
Will Ferrell
No matter how much you screw up your own life by the wrong decisions that you make, it's never too late to do the right thing and change your ways and you can teach old dogs new tricks.
Will Ferrell
There's nothing sexy about Orange County.
Will Ferrell

I speak as much Spanish as anyone who has grown up in Southern California or Texas or Arizona. I had my three years of high-school Spanish and a couple of semesters in college.
Will Ferrell
I think politics have gotten vulgar and we comedically portray that.
Will Ferrell
I love watching people be totally committed in a very real way to stupid situations. I find it's not so much trying to be funny, it's trying to be real in a messed up context. That's comedy to me.
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'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
I would think beer and football go hand in hand.
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've never been a conceited person or cocky, never felt boastful, but I always had a sense of self-worth I always had a real sense of myself.
Will Ferrell
When you look at someone like Sacha Baron Cohen, you have to really respect the boundaries he is pushing as Bruno or Borat.
Will Ferrell
It's the fastest who get paid and it's the fastest who get laid.
Will Ferrell
Alcohol is like Photoshop for real life
Will Ferrell
I built a jail in my closet and I would incarcerate my family from time to time.
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
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
