More quotes by Steve Carell
There's such a freewheeling nature to 'Second City,' and the greatest thing about 'Second City' was having a sophisticated audience night after night who appreciated what it was. They knew it wasn't all going to be great when you improvised, so they were very forgiving that way.
Steve Carell
I play the baritone horn - which is like a mini tuba, and is the least sexy instrument you can choose and I generally say I don’t play one so I don’t have to acknowledge it. I also play fife.
Steve Carell
I don't do anything to try to change people's perceptions of me. I tend to think that's sort of an ego driven thing.
Steve Carell
I think when someone who's known for doing drama does a comedy but just tries to be funny, that's a mistake.
Steve Carell
I'm very fast. I'm like Forest Gump, except ... I am not an idiot!
Steve Carell
I don't text, I don't have a Blackberry. Literally, I just have a cell phone that I haven't programmed and the whole Bluetooth. No. I don't even have an earpiece for my cell phone.
Steve Carell
Well, on a personal level, I would never want to take on a character who didn’t have some redeemable qualities. Even the worst of people, such as Michael Scott in The Office [Carell’s character in the US version of the Ricky Gervais sitcom], have some decent human qualities that you can latch onto.
Steve Carell
I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said… my tummy itches.
Steve Carell
Once I moved to Chicago and started trying to get acting jobs, I just tended to book more things that were comedically based than anything else. I never had the preconceived notion, I will be a comedic actor. I just thought, I'll go into acting and see what kind of work I can get.
Steve Carell
Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like a compulsive need to be liked. Like my need to be praised.
Steve Carell
Whenever you see people talking about how real they are or how normal they are, it seems odd to have that self awareness that you could potentially not be normal.
Steve Carell
Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.
Steve Carell
You know, what's funny to one person is not at all to someone else.
Steve Carell
I don't think my kids have to worry too much about me embarrassing them because that's not how I would want to grow up, with wacky dad showing up at school and performing for everyone.
Steve Carell
It's a very familiar type of place where people either go to their house on the lake or they get together in different places. This was a normal, relatable place that I think a lot of people have in their childhood.
Steve Carell
I am happily married, and I think I was lucky that success came a little later in my life. It's difficult to handle all the attention when you are a young gun.
Steve Carell
The better the person you're with, the better you're going to be because they're giving you so much more.
Steve Carell
Talking to my wife, we stare at each other, saying, 'How is this happening? Why is this happening? Why now?' It's nothing I ever aspired to.
Steve Carell
It's nice to find people who live on the fringe, finding one another and she's just unrelentingly funny.
Steve Carell
If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended - for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your - what's the word I'm looking for? - your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.
Steve Carell
