I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.

I'm not like a politician that goes around talking about family values. And I can't get fired from being a funny person because I did something that most people are disapproving of. I think people are just obsessed with this morality that people perceive as being the right and wrong way of doing stuff.

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.

What terrifies me is that I might somehow endorse that view so people think they don't have to read books anymore.

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

In my mind God made Adam and Eve, he didn't make Adam and Steve.

I like the transience of Klimt paintings.

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.

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.

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.

Comedy is unique in the sense that laughter is a palpable noise that everyone makes.
Steve Coogan
Image
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.

As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.

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.

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 like the fact that people come together who have shared values, but I don't believe that a man died 2,000 years ago and was crucified on a cross to save me from my original sin.

I love Sherlock Holmes. I've got all his books, leather-bound. What I thought was great about Sherlock Holmes was that not only was he a supersleuth, he was also a hard worker. Not only did he go out and solve the crimes, he came home and wrote it all down. Fantastic. That's why I admire him.

I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.

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

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.
