More quotes by Steve Coogan
A lot of people can be very scared about making themselves vulnerable and appearing uncool. I don't really give a damn as long as it's funny, I'll do it [make fun of myself].
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
I want my work to be judged, not me.
Steve Coogan
Hacking into a victim of crime's phone is a sort of poetically elegant manifestation of a modus operandi the tabloids have.
Steve Coogan
When you tour you become more intimate with your audience. It's like I need reassurance that they like me or at least find me relevant. And that I can still do it.
Steve Coogan
It's arguably the best newspaper in the world.
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
Sadly, I can't say the same for my Father, who is probably in a different place - Hell.
Steve Coogan
I always find it easier to portray myself as being unlikeable and idiotic to actually play a character that is likeable and engages the audience is far more difficult. It's a more subtle kind of challenge.
Steve Coogan
All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.
Steve Coogan
Going to a grammar school, you mixed with all sorts of different types and I used to listen to how they talked. When I did my imitations, I could sound like someone really rough, or I could sound like a cabinet minister.
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
But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
Steve Coogan
I like the British public. There is something in this country called tall poppy syndrome. You're good but you're not that good, pal, OK? The natural state of our nation is slightly miserable, and probably the healthier for it. In America you don't get a key down the side of your Bentley.
Steve Coogan
Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.
Steve Coogan
When I was a student I was very, very ambitious, completely immersed in my comedy career. I never had that period of reckless hedonism that you should get out of your system in your youth.
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'm 47, my girlfriend's 33 she's 14 years younger than me: Back of the net!
Steve Coogan
The one thing that gives you faith is the fact that people can be apart physically but they can still have an emotional connection.
Steve Coogan
The tabloids operate in an amoral parallel universe where the bottom line is selling newspapers.
