More quotes by 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
I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.
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
I'm an entertainer. I don't go round saying I'm a paragon of virtue, so that is clearly not in the public interest.
Steve Coogan
I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.
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
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.
Steve Coogan
As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.
Steve Coogan
I happen to have a public profile. Ditto newspaper editors. It's a result of what I do, not an end.
Steve Coogan
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.
Steve Coogan
I want my work to be judged, not me.
Steve Coogan
What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
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
The fundamentalists are insistent that they know best. It's a dictatorial attitude towards personal morality, which is a modern creation that came about in the 19th century.
Steve Coogan
It's arguably the best newspaper in the world.
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
But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
Steve Coogan
I love Sherlock Holmes. I've got all his books, leather-bound. What I thought was great about Sherlock Holmes was that not only was he a supersleuth, he was also a hard worker. Not only did he go out and solve the crimes, he came home and wrote it all down. Fantastic. That's why I admire him.
Steve Coogan
I think we all have a slightly gay gene inside us, don't we? It might be 0.00001 per cent as mine is, or one per cent as yours is.
Steve Coogan
I like to do movies that provoke rather than reinforce conservative values.
