More quotes by Steve Coogan

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare. When I was at school, I was in Hamlet. I played Claudius, who's supposed to be a 60-year-old man, and I was like 18. It's inherently ridiculous seeing 18-year-old boys with gray beards. That's always funny.
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
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
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 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
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
I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.

I'm 47, my girlfriend's 33 she's 14 years younger than me: Back of the net!

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.

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

It is not true that sex degrades women... if it is any good.

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