What I don’t like is when I see stuff that I know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there’s no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. What you don’t want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here’s the epiphany scene and then the movie’s over. Paul Feig Read Quote
I couldn’t be happier to not be acting. I miss it, but I don’t miss the auditioning or trying to get work. Paul Feig Read Quote

What’s 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. Paul Feig Read Quote
The director is the only person on the set who has seen the film. Your job as a director is to show up every day and know where everything will fit into the film. Paul Feig Read Quote

A lot of comedies fall apart because they just go from joke to joke, and the characters are all sort of being crazy off on their own. Paul Feig Read Quote
In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh. Paul Feig Read Quote
For years, it’s driven me crazy that women don’t have better roles, especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt… misogynist streak is too strong a term – but a dismissiveness. Paul Feig Read Quote
