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.

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

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.

Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England.

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.

I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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

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.

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 happen to have a public profile. Ditto newspaper editors. It's a result of what I do, not an end.

That's what gives people hope - that you can still love someone from afar and you can still have those feelings across an ocean.

If it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater.
