Ben Stiller quotes about
drama expectations people
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.
eye dancing looks
If you look at my eyes when I'm dancing, you'll see that glazed look.
hurt games play
Words can only hurt you if you try to read them. Don't play their game!
thinking people personality
People like to define you through what they've seen you do ... 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.
mean
Success doesn't necessarily mean happiness.
stars caring names
The big-name stars . . . are always going to be playing what they've played before if they want to remain so-called A-list stars. That's why someone like Johnny Depp is doing more interesting roles not caring about the size of the movie.
dream kids successful
As a kid I had dreams about being successful, thinking it would be cool. Then, when I was in my 20s, I really thought I had it much more figured out than I do now.
blood underdog dodgeball
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody!
writing way wanted
It's what I wanted to do with my life. 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.
new-york growing-up fun
When we were visiting New York City, I took my kids to the same playground where I went growing up. It was fun to feel that connection of having gone there as a kid and being there as a parent.
funny fashion silly
I wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.
drama comedy devalue
I don't devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.
sweet dear-lord three
Oh, dear God, thank you, you are such a good God to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating God, and we thank You oh sweet, sweet Lord of hosts for the smörgåsbord You have so aptly laid at our table this day, and each day, by day, day by day, by day oh dear Lord three things we pray to love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly, day, by day, by day. Amen.
thinking translate knows
I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. 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.
