More quotes by Steve Carell
Nothing to me feels as good as laughing incredibly hard.
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
Fool me once, strike one. But fool me twice ... strike three.
Steve Carell
In my role of agent for Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject.
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
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
You project a version of yourself to the public to protect and insulate yourself a little bit. Actors come up with a version of themselves in order to protect the real person.
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
There's such a freewheeling nature to 'Second City,' and the greatest thing about 'Second City' was having a sophisticated audience night after night who appreciated what it was. They knew it wasn't all going to be great when you improvised, so they were very forgiving that way.
Steve Carell
'Anchorman'... is not grounded in anything. There is absolutely no heart to that movie, which I love.
Steve Carell
I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said… my tummy itches.
Steve Carell
I don't think something necessarily has to be mean or cynical to represent 'edgy.' I think 'edgy' can mean a lot of different things.
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
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
Make friends first, make sales second, make love third. In no particular order.
Steve Carell
You know, what's funny to one person is not at all to someone else.
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
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
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
