He was very kind and encouraged us to go with what we wanted to do. “Paul is Starsky, and I met him before shooting. I watched all the episodes and tried to get a feeling for what he was doing.”

He was the reason I wanted to do the movie because as a kid I was such a big fan of his. “Even when I’m not directing, that doesn’t stop Owen from having ideas for what I should be doing.” “It’s great to work with the people who make you laugh and who are funnier than I am.” “ Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public’s desire for him to be funny simply because he’s so good at it.” Not necessarily just direct Jim Carrey movies, but to direct and act and write and create and along the way, discover what it is that I’m about.” I think anytime you’re working with a better actor, it makes you a better actor.” “I know that I’m better as an actor when I’m working with a good actor. “Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples.” “I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. “I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.” “I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people’s expectations of me as a comic actor.” “There’s an old saying in Hollywood: ‘It’s not the length of your film, it’s how you use it.'” I had to start writing and acting again.” “The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. “When you come out with a film, hopefully it gets presented to the public in the right way so people aren’t getting something they don’t expect.” “There’s always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you’re a fraud after all!” Work is my best way of channeling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.” But I do like to have the ability to try stuff just in the moment, to give it some sort of spontaneity.” “I think you never want to have to go into the scene having to improvise you want to make sure it’s working on the page. You’re making a movie, you hope it’s going to be funny, you can’t think about how it’s going to go over.” “I don’t know if anything’s going to translate anywhere. “I don’t devalue comedy as compared to drama. “You have to stay in character in between takes.” “ Zoolander was more of my own sensibility.” “I’m always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.” Weird and funny and kind of pathetic and yet so right for parody.” “I think this whole celebrity world is weird anyway. “I don’t think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.” It’s a valid test of your creative abilities.” “I don’t have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor.
Those kinds of characters come easily to me.” I find it easy to amuse myself with a certain sort of cynical dark humor that tends toward the meaner side, like my character in Happy Gilmore. “I don’t think it’s ever easy to be funny. “Sometimes I wondered whether I hadn’t let my career get confined to one direction, but lately I’ve decided to accept the fact that I have this opportunity to be successful doing comedies.” People who spend a lot of time with me may not wish to spend a lot more time with me.” I know that from people who spend a lot of time with me. There are aspects of my personality, I guess, that come through on-screen, but I don’t sit around thinking, I’ve been a bumbling suitor all my life.”
“People like to define you through what they’ve seen you do. “I don’t even want to think of myself as an actor because it’s such an insecure place to go.”
“I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.” I was interested in maybe becoming an archaeologist but I was such a bad student and had such bad grades that I wasn’t going to get into any really good college so I fell back on acting.” Then, when I was in my 20s, I really thought I had it much more figured out than I do now.” “As a kid I had dreams about being successful, thinking it would be cool. “I’ve had a very good career and I’m grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.” Ben Stiller quotes: the highly-paid actor’s thoughts on acting, success, fatherhood, and more.
