More quotes by Steve Coogan
I like the transience of Klimt paintings.
Steve Coogan
Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.
Steve Coogan
The best feeling in the world is performing in front of a live audience who like what you're doing. I can understand why people become dictators just because of the thrill they get making the speeches.
Steve Coogan
What terrifies me is that I might somehow endorse that view so people think they don't have to read books anymore.
Steve Coogan
What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
Steve Coogan
I'm just attracted to playing people who are ostensible unlikable. That's not to say that there's something in there that makes you care. It might be that you just find them so awful that you just can't stop watching, like a car crash.
Steve Coogan
I want my work to be judged, not me.
Steve Coogan
I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare. When I was at school, I was in Hamlet. I played Claudius, who's supposed to be a 60-year-old man, and I was like 18. It's inherently ridiculous seeing 18-year-old boys with gray beards. That's always funny.
Steve Coogan
The Church at its best is about empowering the disempowered and giving voice to the dispossessed and not putting a price on everything and not being about the bottom line and not worshipping the market or everything that is material.
Steve Coogan
Look at all those American preachers who got caught with their pants down. They say one thing and they are doing another. I try to be more honest about it, both in my thinking and my behavior.
Steve Coogan
But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
Steve Coogan
Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England.
Steve Coogan
Knowing about comedy has helped me with the drama. To see people laugh, it's like there are moments of catharsis in the middle of sadness.
Steve Coogan
The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny, you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.
Steve Coogan
I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.
Steve Coogan
All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.
Steve Coogan
If the person who can effectively sanction ill-conceived wars can play the electric guitar, which is a symbol of rebellion, then that whole worldview becomes confused.
Steve Coogan
There is a strong ethical dimension to the best comedy. Not only does it avoid reinforcing prejudices, it actively challenges them.
Steve Coogan
When it comes to morality, I'd rather have an unfaithful president like Bill Clinton, who tried to reform welfare, than a faithful George Bush who propagated an illegal war on the rest of the world. So that is where my morality stands.
Steve Coogan
If it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater.
