Steve Carell's Quotes

  • I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.
  • I think a character in a comedy should not know they're in a comedy.
  • I don't think of myself as funny - I don't fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian.
  • You can't seem to have any sort of inhibition. Or shame. Or absolute horror at your own physical presence. I know I'm not a woman's fantasy man; I don't have to uphold this image of male beauty, so that's kind of a relief in a way.
  • When they approached me about who I would want writing Get Smart (2008), I suggested B.J. The episodes that he's written walk the line between intensely funny and slightly offensive. But they always fall on the side of being funny. I also suggested him because I think he's going to be someone I'll be working for someday, and I want to get on his good side now - on his The Office (2005) co-star and co-writer B.J. Novak.
