More quotes by Steve Coogan
I don't go to premieres, unless I'm contractually bound to.
Steve Coogan
I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.
Steve Coogan
If you start to disrespect the character you're playing, or play it too much for laughs, that can work for a sketch, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique. It's like watching a juggler - you can be impressed by it, but it's not going to touch you in any way.
Steve Coogan
In my mind God made Adam and Eve, he didn't make Adam and Steve.
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
I don't like comedy that I think is bad comedy, where people are trying to be sick for the sake of it, where there's no intellectual point behind it. I like stuff that's got an underlying point of view.
Steve Coogan
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.
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
I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.
Steve Coogan
That was liquid football
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
The tabloids operate in an amoral parallel universe where the bottom line is selling newspapers.
Steve Coogan
I used to do stuff at college. I could do voices. I could make some people laugh. I wasn't the class clown, but I knew I had this skill.
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
Yeah, all drama teachers are very effusive, very demonstrative, very emotionally open, very big, and gesticulate a lot, and are very physical.
Steve Coogan
There is a strong ethical dimension to the best comedy. Not only does it avoid reinforcing prejudices, it actively challenges them.
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
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
Me, myself, personally, I like to keep myself private. I have never said I am a paragon of virtue, a model of morality. I simply do what I do.
Steve Coogan
I think if you try to look for something to show off as an actor, vanity can get the better of you.
