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.

From Paul Feig

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.

From Paul Feig

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.

From Paul Feig

I'm extremely, extremely lucky to be who I am and do what I do and work with the people I work with. Even though I can always find something to complain about, I find it very hard to complain.

From Paul Feig

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

From Paul Feig

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.

From Paul Feig

What I do as a director is really create a safe environment that everyone can feel very comfortable in and experiment within so that they don't hold back anything. You never ever want someone to go, 'Oh I shouldn't have done that.' There isn't anything you shouldn't try. If it's terrible, who cares?

From Paul Feig

I always feel in improv that nothing is ever as good once it's repeated.

From Paul Feig

If you're not connected emotionally to a story, then you're dead. You're really just opening the door for people to lose interest and their minds to wander, for them to start picking it apart.

From Paul Feig

The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. I was always such a late developer. I was last to walk. I was last to ride a bike. I was last to have sex. That's why it's fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen.
