The actor told Heart FM that he tried to write some lyrics for the film's soundtrack but quickly gave up when he considered them to be lacking.
However, he insisted that he has no regrets that his name is not attached to the score, commenting that it would have been detrimental to the movie if he had indulged his musical side.
"The problem is that I don't have any musical talent... I think that would have been a bad idea for everyone involved," he said.
Stiller recently remarked that he does not think he is funny away from the camera.
