More quotes by 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
There is a strong ethical dimension to the best comedy. Not only does it avoid reinforcing prejudices, it actively challenges them.
Steve Coogan
I woke with a start. At first I assumed I'd trumped myself awake again.
Steve Coogan
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.
Steve Coogan
Comedy is unique in the sense that laughter is a palpable noise that everyone makes.
Steve Coogan
I think if you try to look for something to show off as an actor, vanity can get the better of you.
Steve Coogan
When I see friends from school I think they've all grown old and I've stayed the same.
Steve Coogan
The fundamentalists are insistent that they know best. It's a dictatorial attitude towards personal morality, which is a modern creation that came about in the 19th century.
Steve Coogan
That was liquid football

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
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
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
I like to do movies that provoke rather than reinforce conservative values.
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
All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.
Steve Coogan
If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
Steve Coogan
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.
Steve Coogan
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.
Steve Coogan
As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.
