ADD QUOTES
- Will: Even though I've been married for eight years, I do separate my food in the refrigerator from my wife's. I put labels on it that say 'This is Will's leftover chicken' or whatever. And if you touch it, yeah, I get livid.
  Edit Share Hide
- Will: (revealing he kept the fake genitals used in the movie "Step Brothers") They've been brought out on a few occasions - we had a dinner party and the subject of the stunt balls came up and I went, 'I have them, do you want to see them?' They got passed around by 20 people!
  Edit Share Hide
- Will: (on being naked onscreen) You might not believe this, but I really don't believe in doing something if it's just for the sake of doing it.
