More quotes by Steve Carell
I don't ever want to take a part in order to prove that I'm capable of doing something. It's all based in doing stuff that's interesting or working with people who would be fun to work with.
Steve Carell
High school – those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.
Steve Carell
I look at improvising as a prolonged game of chess. There's an opening gambit with your pawn in a complex game I have with one character, and lots of side games with other characters, and another game with myself - and in each game you make all these tiny, tiny moves that get you to the endgame.
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
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
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.

My father is Italian, and I never met my paternal grandparents. The family name was Caroselli and it was changed in the mid 50s. I think they wanted to assimilate, which was pretty common, although I love the name Caroselli.
Steve Carell
I joined an improv group in college, which was a lot of fun. After I graduated, I moved to Chicago to try to get into the Second City.
Steve Carell
I tend not to be someone who's on all the time, or is always trying to make other people laugh.
Steve Carell
I was sort of traumatized by girls in the third grade. Because there was a girl in my third grade class I had a crush on. I bought her a box of Valentine's Day chocolate. And I put it in her cubby with a note that said something like, I am deeply in love with you, Your Secret Admirer. And I didn't sign my name.
Steve Carell
The only time I set the bar low is for limbo.
Steve Carell
I've waited my entire life to be busy. Whenever I hear actors complain about being busy, I think, 'shut up.' Because you do, you wait to be successful or to be able to work.
Steve Carell
As a parent, all you want is for your kids to be safe but you don’t want to be over-protective and so you know that at some stage, they’re going to make their own mistakes and get hurt emotionally when all you want to do is protect them from that.
Steve Carell
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
People generally have sex fairly young, and probably younger than they should be having it.
Steve Carell
People just like to be on camera. There's a huge desire to be in front of the camera, and once there, people will say and do almost anything. It's sort of a drug, and I think people get addicted to it.
Steve Carell
My parents had a certain resolve to them that I don’t see as so prevalent today. Through good times and bad, they were committed to one another. Their relationship wasn’t something to be constantly examined or picked apart.
Steve Carell
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.
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.
