I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.
Steve Coogan
Image
When you tour you become more intimate with your audience. It's like I need reassurance that they like me or at least find me relevant. And that I can still do it.
Steve Coogan
Image
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
Image
Yeah, all drama teachers are very effusive, very demonstrative, very emotionally open, very big, and gesticulate a lot, and are very physical.

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.

What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.

I want my work to be judged, not me.

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.

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.

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.

Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.

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

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.

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

A woman wearing a revealing dress will always be sexier than a naked woman.

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

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.

I like to do movies that provoke rather than reinforce conservative values.

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