I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.
Steve Coogan

If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
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

When I play myself, I want to be a slightly better person. It just agrees. Everything I play about myself is kind of true, but it's amplified. We all edit, don't we? If you're self-aware, you stop yourself - you know how to behave properly.

I like comedy, but I like comedy as a device in drama. It's more interesting for me to use comedy to seduce people into thinking about something serious. If you want to hit a beat in a drama, you can distract people with a little comedy, and you can punch them in the gut with some emotion.

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.

All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.

Image
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.

The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.

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
Image
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
Image
Sadly, I can't say the same for my Father, who is probably in a different place - Hell.
Steve Coogan
Image
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.

I like the transience of Klimt paintings.
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.

The tabloids operate in an amoral parallel universe where the bottom line is selling newspapers.

I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.

Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.
Steve Coogan
Image
I like the fact that people come together who have shared values, but I don't believe that a man died 2,000 years ago and was crucified on a cross to save me from my original sin.

What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
