More quotes by 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 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
Yes. It is true. I, Michael Scott, am signing up with an online dating service. Thousands of people have done it, and I am going to do it. I need a username, and I have a great one. 'Little Kid Lover.' That way people will know exactly where my priorities are at.
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
The best food is in Chicago. There are great restaurants everywhere, from fancy places to burger joints.
Steve Carell
Make friends first, make sales second, make love third. In no particular order.
Steve Carell
I've thought a lot about success, because it's very strange to me that I've been successful.
Steve Carell
One person with the ability of half a person doing the work of four people.
Steve Carell
People generally have sex fairly young, and probably younger than they should be having it.
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
I tend not to be someone who's on all the time, or is always trying to make other people laugh.
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
Maybe the coolest people are the ones who don't care about being cool.
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 don't even know if I have kind of a personal, like a take or a mental manual of how I'm raising kids. It's really - I think with everybody, it's just day-to-day and you just try to deal with every situation as they come.
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
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
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
My parents had a certain resolve to them that I don’t see as so prevalent today. Through good times and bad, they were committed to one another. Their relationship wasn’t something to be constantly examined or picked apart.
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.
