• “A lot of people have gotten into comedy because of certain influences in their lives or events that were painful, and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal.” (Will Ferrell) [people/brain/normal/childhood]
• “I think a lot of the instincts you have doing comedy are really the same for doing drama, in that it's essentially about listening. The way I approach comedy, is you have to commit to everything as if it's a dramatic role, meaning you play it straight.” (Will Ferrell) [think/approach/role]
• “It's rare that you get to actually cast the person that you are using as the type of actor you want for the role.

• “giggling, 'You're so cute!' ” (Will Ferrell)
• “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: The Complete Second Season” (Will Ferrell)

• “I would tend to shy away from that, only because hosting those type of things is an extremely difficult task. I'd rather watch at home.” (Will Ferrell) [shy/type/watch]
• “At the end of the movie I gave Bob Newhart a headshot of mine with tape over the eyes. So that he'd remember, and be fond of the tape,” (Will Ferrell) [start/movie/eyes/remember]

• “You don't give a monkey a latte.” (Will Ferrell) [give]

• “It's important that this character is played real, or straight, the whole way through and not winking at the audience. It was approached from a dramatic side as much as a comedic side.” (Will Ferrell) [character]
• “The only thing I can attribute it to, in leaving the show, is making the right choices or having the opportunity with people to develop material that is closer to your sensibility,” (Will Ferrell) [thing/right/people]
