More quotes by Steve Carell
Everyone always wants new things. Everybody likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.
Steve Carell
Reading a book, watching a movie, going to a play, it's transporting, and very, very exciting. And to be a part of that, creating things with your imagination, whoa.

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
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
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
One person with the ability of half a person doing the work of four people.

We are all facing the end one day or another. I say, live a good and prosperous life, make sure your choices count, make them count.
Steve Carell
Goalies almost never get credit for winning a game, but they always get blamed for losing a game.
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
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 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
Actors and magicians are both performers and they represent things that are not necessarily who they are.
Steve Carell
Being a leading man... that's like saying I want to be astronaut. That's not going to happen.
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
I think when someone who's known for doing drama does a comedy but just tries to be funny, that's a mistake.

Steve Buscemi is hilarious. He's really, really good with improv.
Steve Carell
High school – those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.
Steve Carell
I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.
Steve Carell
I don't think something necessarily has to be mean or cynical to represent 'edgy.' I think 'edgy' can mean a lot of different things.
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.
