More quotes by Steve Carell
I don't think of myself as funny - I don't fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian.
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
People generally have sex fairly young, and probably younger than they should be having it.
Steve Carell
Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.
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
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
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
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 had, like, two goals in my career: One was to try to get into 'Second City.' When I moved to Chicago, my goal was to try to work at 'Second City.' And beyond that, my goal was to make enough money as an actor to not do anything else but act, not have to go and wait tables again.
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
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
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.
Steve Carell
Is it true that if you don’t USE it you LOSE it?
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'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.
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.
Steve Carell
Being a leading man... that's like saying I want to be astronaut. That's not going to happen.
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 know I'm not a woman's fantasy man I don't have to uphold this image of male beauty, so that's kind of a relief in a way.
Steve Carell
Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.
Steve Carell
