What tends to happen in most movies is that strip clubs are used as a short hand for unsympathetic, sleazy people. And that's just a lazy cliché.

More quotes by 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
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.
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
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.
Steve Coogan
I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.
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
The one thing that gives you faith is the fact that people can be apart physically but they can still have an emotional connection.
Steve Coogan
When I see friends from school I think they've all grown old and I've stayed the same.
Steve Coogan
I like to do movies that provoke rather than reinforce conservative values.
Steve Coogan
Hacking into a victim of crime's phone is a sort of poetically elegant manifestation of a modus operandi the tabloids have.
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
In England, I've done a whole bunch of stuff where I just make a complete ass of myself. I've been doing it for 20 years, so I just gravitate toward it anyway. I'd rather do that than do the stuff where I'm supposed to be trying to look cool in some way. It's more interesting to me.
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
A lot of people can be very scared about making themselves vulnerable and appearing uncool. I don't really give a damn as long as it's funny, I'll do it [make fun of myself].
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
The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
Steve Coogan
Sadly, I can't say the same for my Father, who is probably in a different place - Hell.
Steve Coogan
A woman wearing a revealing dress will always be sexier than a naked woman.
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
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.
