I love playing the macho guy who looks like an idiot.
Will Ferrell
My dad turned me onto Peter Sellers as a kid. I loved the fact that he was a unique combination of being extremely subtle and over-the-top all at the same time, and that's a hard thing to do. I admire that.

Even before I was acting, I had, like, one day in high school I decided to just show them my pajamas, just for no good reason.
Will Ferrell
I want to thank Jesus, and by Jesus I mean Jesus Hernandez, my bodyguard
Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell
Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet to see who they really are.
Will Ferrell
I want to make hip-hop that can use guitars and soul and jazz and just fuse it all together. And I want to make this whole new sound that's going to shock the world. Unfortunately, the masses didn't receive it.
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
Sleep is so cute when it tries to compete with the internet.
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
