Will Ferrell's quotes

  • I often don't think a lot about the ramifications of anything I do.
  • There's just something about yelling that's funny to me.
  • [on being a comic]: I attribute it to growing up in safe, boring suburbia in California. I wasn't beaten up by anyone, there was a really low crime rate. There was really nothing to do except think of funny things.
  • I always forced myself to do crazy things in public. In college I would push an overhead projector across campus with my pants just low enough to show my butt.
  • [on running in the Boston Marathon] I actually had people running up next to me with beer bongs and offering me shots. All of this crazy stuff. And no, I didn't take any of it.
  • (2006, on living with his mother for three years after college) I had no ego about that. It's kind of sad.
  • (2006) I do feel, at heart, that I'm a lazy person who found this thing that I love. Comedy makes me industrious. Without it, I'm just another guy.
  • I rotate my clothes so everything is equally worn. Sometimes, that means orange shorts and red shoes. My wife is like "Really?".
