Whatever you wear, you have to own it. Make it yours. Paul Feig More Quotes by Paul Feig More Quotes From Paul Feig The biggest thing I’ve heard for the last four months is, ‘Thanks for ruining my childhood’. Paul Feig childhoodlastsmonths 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 filmjobsdirectors I'm more of a science head, so I was like, how would a guy use - if there were ghosts - technology to bring them back? Paul Feig technologyguyuse The British model, which I've always thought was great, is that you do a TV show and then they sell it. Then you can buy it at the video stores forever, so it never went away. But American TV used to be if you had a show and it got cancelled, then it never existed. It was just this thing you heard about and you couldn't see it again. There is something so great about shows getting released and people getting to watch them over and over again. It definitely takes the sting out of it. Paul Feig foreverpeople 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. Paul Feig kidssexschool You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody. Paul Feig ridiculouswantmean The more suits I owned, the more I realized the best besuited look a man can achieve comes from a harmony of three details: fabric, construction, and fit. If the suit fits you like a glove and it's well made, you simply feel better about everything in life when you're wearing it. Paul Feig suitsfeel-bettermen Internationally and in foreign markets, movies starring women don't make as much money as movies starring men. And then you can blame filmmakers, especially in comedy, which is my bread and butter, because it's become a bit of a boys' club over the years. With the boys in charge you get these takes on women which are either the girlfriend or the mean wife or the girl who appears in a romantic comedy. You're just getting either men's fantasies about women or what they think is the reality about women instead of men just having a healthy attitude about women. Paul Feig girlattitudemean You need to have one element about your outfit that is imperfect, that says you live in it and you're not letting it control you. I think men and women both need a softness about them with formal wear. Paul Feig menneedsthinking Ever since I was a little kid, I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school, but I kept wearing it. Paul Feig momkidsschool With a suit, even if you're having a nervous breakdown, you still look like you're in charge. Paul Feig nervoussuitslooks Hollywood is a business and movie studios are only going to do what's going to make money. It's not an altruistic thing. They are blatant grabs for money. Responsible studios want to make quality pictures, but at the same time nobody is going to make quality pictures they know aren't going to make any money. Paul Feig making-moneyresponsiblequality Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails. Paul Feig awardssimpleyears I was brought up in a very religious household and did a lot of praying throughout a big part of my life and always thought of God as being not only a powerful father figure and the ruler of all time and dimension but also as a friend with whom I could chat and ask questions to and get advice from. Paul Feig powerfulreligiousfather I've always enjoyed people studying themselves in the mirror, and I also enjoy those 'walk and feel bad' shots. I like anything that isolates people and focuses them on themselves, or makes us focus on their faces as they're going through something. Paul Feig focusmirrorspeople If you made a movie that no man in the world went near, but every woman in the world went to, you'd have the highest grossing movie of all time. You'd make trillions of dollars. But I don't want to make movies that are just for the ladies. I don't want to ghettoize any audience that way. Paul Feig all-timemenworld At the end of the day the question comes, what are you doing for the world? You have to try to do something that's going to add something positive.

Paul Feig crazycharacterfall So many of my friends have always been women growing up... I always feel slightly more comfortable around women because with guys in general there's always more of a danger zone... it's very aggressive sometimes the way guys act with each other, putting each other down and calling each other names, so I was always too sensitive for that and used to hang out with the girls. And they were always really funny to me. Paul Feig growing-upgirlnames Everybody who's making the movies needs to work hard to make sure they're good. And if you don't show up and see the movies and support them financially, no one is going to make them. It's going to change unless it makes money. That's the long and short of it. You have to give in to the fact that it's a business. Paul Feig hard-workgivinglong
