Quotes by Paul Feig

I honestly see the battle between Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative as the exact same dynamic--theres a group of people in this world that dont like conflict and care about what other people are going through, and then theres this other group of people in the world who hate that. Suck it up, man, were not coddling you, take care of yourself, whats your problem? Its jocks versus geeks, and Ive always referred to life as perpetual high school because it never stops.

Whats great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.

Womens humor seems to be a little more supportive. Its just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like Im going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys.

Im kind of a failure. I mean, Ill be honest. Im successful in that Im getting to work on great stuff, but I think Im a failure in all the personal stuff that is most important to me.

I love funny people, and when Im with funny people, or people who are amusing in their weirdness, I love it. Because that to me is funny, as opposed to someone who stops and says, Hey let me tell you a joke.

Wearing a tuxedo isnt as simple as it sounds. Ive been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. Its surprisingly easy to go off the rails.

I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies, because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex, and all the popular kids, and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons, with tape on their glasses. I never saw my people portrayed accurately.
