More quotes by Steve Carell
I am happily married, and I think I was lucky that success came a little later in my life. It's difficult to handle all the attention when you are a young gun.
Steve Carell
I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: It's the man from TV!

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 play the baritone horn - which is like a mini tuba, and is the least sexy instrument you can choose and I generally say I don’t play one so I don’t have to acknowledge it. I also play fife.
Steve Carell
How did I end up in films with people like Keira Knightley... all these beautiful leading ladies and me - it's kind of shocking.
Steve Carell
One person with the ability of half a person doing the work of four people.
Steve Carell
I've thought a lot about success, because it's very strange to me that I've been successful.
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
I tend not to be someone who's on all the time, or is always trying to make other people laugh.
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
An office is a place to... live life to the fullest. To the max. To... an office is a place where dreams come true.
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
I think anyone loves to play a character that is either evil to a certain extent or has a real definable character flaw. Those are always really fun, and, I think, funny.
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
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'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
Reverse psychology is an awesome tool, I don't know if you guys know about it, but basically you can make someone think the opposite of what you believe, and that tricks them into doing something stupid. Works like a charm.
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
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
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.
