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
Image
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
Image
What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
Steve Coogan
Image
That's what gives people hope - that you can still love someone from afar and you can still have those feelings across an ocean.
Steve Coogan
Image
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.

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.
