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.

More quotes by 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
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.
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
I've thought a lot about success, because it's very strange to me that I've been successful.
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
A healthy body means a healthy mind. You get your heart rate up, and you get the blood flowing through your body to your brain. Look at Albert Einstein. He rode a bicycle. He was also an early student of Jazzercise. You never saw Einstein lift his shirt, but he had a six-pack under there.
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.
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
Make friends first, make sales second, make love third. In no particular order.
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
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
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
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
I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said… my tummy itches.
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
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 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
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.
Steve Carell
Your brain, like your tongue, is a muscle. Practicing thinking by yourself really helps develop your brain, which you need throughout your day. I like to practice my thinking in a darkened room, alone.
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.
