I don't go to premieres, unless I'm contractually bound to.
Steve Coogan

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

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
Image
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
Image
I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.
Steve Coogan
Image
To me, most theatre looks ridiculous. I find it very difficult to do. Personally, if I ever try to do serious stuff, I always end up looking like an asshole, so I might as well try and do comedy, because I'm good at that.
Steve Coogan
Image
I'm not like a politician that goes around talking about family values. And I can't get fired from being a funny person because I did something that most people are disapproving of. I think people are just obsessed with this morality that people perceive as being the right and wrong way of doing stuff.

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.

Image
Most of all I don't want to be bored. That's why I'd rather do something that has some sort of ambition, that risks failing, rather than make safer, more comfortable choices.
Steve Coogan
Image
I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.

Two thousand years ago, the Holy family had a ramble from Nazareth to Bethlehem - in much the same way as I'm having a ramble from Norwich to Swaffham. Although I'm not comparing myself to Jesus - I don't want to get bogged down in that whole controversy again.

When I see friends from school I think they've all grown old and I've stayed the same.
Steve Coogan
Image
I think if you try to look for something to show off as an actor, vanity can get the better of you.
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
Image
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

Even if I screw up in my personal life, as long as I'm not destroying myself, I just think, Okay, I screwed up. I'm not Mother Theresa.
Steve Coogan
Image
In my mind God made Adam and Eve, he didn't make Adam and Steve.
Steve Coogan
Image
I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm not Frank Bough, either. I am getting older and a bit more sensible. I'm not going to be popping up in dungeons every six months. If you catch me preaching fidelity while I am shagging chickens then throw the book at me. Otherwise, leave me alone.

Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.

I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.
