Will Ferrell Quotes

Oftentimes, even as a little kid, I would get up before anyone else. My brother would still be sleeping, my mom would still be sleeping, so I would literally play ‘Monopoly’ by myself. I would play board games; I would do things by myself Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, ‘Land of the Lost’ was my favorite show, just because it was - in the landscape of Saturday morning cartoons - it was so unique. It was a live-action show and kids were in it, these creatures, these Sleestaks and dinosaurs. Every week was a different adventure. I couldn’t wait. I loved it so much Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved watching the news on TV. As a kid, I loved watching Walter Cronkite, for some reason Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Some artists are definitely trying to do different styles. Some, not a lot. But even from what you’ve seen [of] Outkast, Kanye West, and Lil’ Wayne, and different people expressing their way of evolving in hip-hop. In the evolution of hip-hop, they’re doing different things. And you’ve seen hip-hop have more of a global presence and impact on the world Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I would love to work with Bill Murray. I’ve always been such a big fan. I think he’s obviously a great comedic actor but a really interesting actor Picture Quote #1

Now we have food networks and everything. CNN was the beginning of all of that Picture Quote #1

I think you can’t do any action without in some way paying homage to John Woo. He’s the guy who just invented that sort of next level of poetic nasty action Picture Quote #1

I’ve not been able to avoid periods of time where I felt super-lonely. Luckily, I have a side that is able to always see the glass as half-full Picture Quote #1

I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records Picture Quote #1

I am a bit of a gourmet chef. I love cooking mostly Thai food. And a lot of times on movies, you have these trailers that have these little ovens and kitchenettes. A lot of actors never use them, but I would cook lunch just about every day Picture Quote #1

I hate when new parents ask who the baby looks like. It was born 15 minutes ago, it looks like a potato Picture Quote #1

If no-one comes from the future to stop doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be? Picture Quote #1

I did plenty of jobs that I hated. I was a bank teller and terrible at it. I parked cars, a valet. I answered phones. I somehow avoided being a waiter. I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep the order straight. I’m not much of a multi-tasker Picture Quote #1

I’m a selective pack rat. There’s some things I have no problem getting rid of and others I hold onto dearly Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I always find it actually funny that the analysis is that the characters I play in comedies are the manchild, the adolescent, characters that refuse to grow up. And yet, if you look back in the history of comedy all the way back to the Marx brothers, that’s a big part of comedy Picture Quote #1

By the time I was ready for college, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I think I secretly wanted a show business career, but I was suppressing it Picture Quote #1

You know you can be having a bad day and someone will walk by and say: ‘Hey, I love you, Will.’ That really cheers you up. That’s a really lovely thing Picture Quote #1

In every circle of friends there’s always that one person everyone secretly hates. Don’t have one? Then it’s probably you Picture Quote #1

You did it! Congratulations! World’s best cup of coffee! Great job, everybody! It’s great to be here Picture Quote #1
