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.

More quotes by Steve Coogan
As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.
Steve Coogan
I want my work to be judged, not me.
Steve Coogan
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
I'm getting older , so I'm quieting down a bit.
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
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
The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
Steve Coogan
I'm a huge fan of Jack Lemmon, he was someone who managed to tread that line between comedy and tragedy and sometimes give very big performances, but they were never over-demonstrative and they were never not based on a kind of real truthful human being.
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
I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.
Steve Coogan
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.
Steve Coogan
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.
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
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
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.
Steve Coogan
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
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.
Steve Coogan
I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.
Steve Coogan
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.
Steve Coogan
What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
Steve Coogan
