ADD QUOTES
- Ben: (revealing two children are enough for him and wife Christine Taylor) Our kids are ridiculously cute and every moment is a joy and a wonderful challenge that people who have kids can only understand. It's the best but I'm happy where we're at right now.
  Edit Share Hide
- Ben: (on the late Bernie Mac, Ben's co-star in Madagascar: Escape 2) I would hear the scenes with Alex and Zuba cut together while we were doing it and I was always so inspired because he's so great in the movie and he adds so much to it. He gives a warmth and humanity to the lion and the father son relationship is really the core of the movie. It's really sad because I think he could have done a lot of these movies.
  Edit Share Hide
- Ben: I'm not the type of guy who goes around cracking jokes a lot. I'm probably not that funny in person.
