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. 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.

This year, more people will use cocaine than will read a book to their children.

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
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.

My wife is way funnier than I am. As much as I don't really feel I share a sense of humour with my family, I definitely share one with her - we find the same things funny.
Steve Carell
For my wife and I, the challenge is to not make every day the best day possible because it's not realistic.

Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.
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
I wasn't a class clown, I never developed this comedic flair as a kid. Even when I decided to become an actor, it was just to be an actor, not necessarily a comedic actor. I wasn't that guy who struck out with women so he became really funny, and that's when the women started to like him.
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 want to be feared or loved? That's a good question. I want both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.
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'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 had, like, two goals in my career: One was to try to get into 'Second City.' When I moved to Chicago, my goal was to try to work at 'Second City.' And beyond that, my goal was to make enough money as an actor to not do anything else but act, not have to go and wait tables again.
Steve Carell
I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: It's the man from TV!
Steve Carell
I was a bad dater, and up until 8th grade I went to an all boy's school. So, by the time I hit high school I was a bit freaked out by women in general.
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
You're doing your kids a disservice if they do get everything they want because that's not the way life's going to go, and I think kids have to have some reality.
