More quotes by Steve Carell
If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended - for exercise.

Steve Buscemi is hilarious. He's really, really good with improv.
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.

It's not a master plan to do every remake and every recreation of icons. It's just what I've been hired to do.
Steve Carell
I've always enjoyed watching characters that aren't aware that they're doing anything funny. And I think that inherently makes them funnier.
Steve Carell
I’m not good with pickup lines or flirting. I don’t have that kind of self-confidence or natural charisma.
Steve Carell
Oh, I so don't care about the podium at the Oscars. I've stood at the podium at the Oscars and that's close enough. To be a presenter is as close as I need to be.
Steve Carell
It's nice to find people who live on the fringe, finding one another and she's just unrelentingly funny.
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
If somebody takes the parking place you were waiting for, I tend to kind of let it roll off my back. Maybe I'm harboring a lot of something and it will all explode somewhere down the road, but I tend to just let it slide off my back.
Steve Carell
In my role of agent for Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject.
