More quotes by Steve Carell
Taste in comedy, like fashion, changes all the time.
Steve Carell
The best food is in Chicago. There are great restaurants everywhere, from fancy places to burger joints.
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
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
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
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
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'm not unattractive, but I'm not a matinee idol. I think I have a very non-threatening look - I'm fine, I'm right in the middle.
Steve Carell
I'd love to do Broadway some day. Before I started doing television I was just a primarily a stage actor, but I haven't done it in a while.
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.
Steve Carell
Different things just strike people differently. And it's so subjective, too. Because what makes one person laugh won't make others laugh. I guess it's kind of checkerboarded.
Steve Carell
Style advice? Always wear clothes... that are... clean, for starters. An added bonus if it is pressed as well. Unless you are wearing clothes that are supposed to look rumpled.
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
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
Everyone said to Vincent van Gogh, You can't be a great painter, you only have one ear. And you know what he said? I can't hear you.
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
High school – those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.
Steve Carell
'Anchorman'... is not grounded in anything. There is absolutely no heart to that movie, which I love.
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
Like most people, I have painful memories of trying to fit in as a child. I wore, said, and did pretty much what everyone else did.
Steve Carell
