More quotes by Steve Coogan
If it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater.
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
All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.
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 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.
Steve Coogan
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
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
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'm a huge fan of Jack Lemmon, he was someone who managed to tread that line between comedy and tragedy and sometimes give very big performances, but they were never over-demonstrative and they were never not based on a kind of real truthful human being.
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 happen to have a public profile. Ditto newspaper editors. It's a result of what I do, not an end.
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
As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.
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
I don't go to premieres, unless I'm contractually bound to.
Steve Coogan
Look at all those American preachers who got caught with their pants down. They say one thing and they are doing another. I try to be more honest about it, both in my thinking and my behavior.
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
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.
Steve Coogan
Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.
Steve Coogan
What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
Steve Coogan
