Steve Carell Quotes

I was sort of traumatized by girls in the third grade. Because there was a girl in my third grade class I had a crush on. I bought her a box of Valentine’s Day chocolate. And I put it in her cubby with a note that said something like, ‘I am deeply in love with you, Your Secret Admirer.’ And I didn’t sign my name Picture Quote #1

I’m listening to a lot of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. A lot of pop female artists. I have to say I’m pretty well-versed in the pop female category Picture Quote #1

I’ve waited my entire life to be busy. Whenever I hear actors complain about being busy, I think, ‘shut up.’ Because you do, you wait to be successful or to be able to work Picture Quote #1

My father is Italian, and I never met my paternal grandparents. The family name was ‘Caroselli’ and it was changed in the mid 50s. I think they wanted to assimilate, which was pretty common, although I love the name ‘Caroselli.’ Picture Quote #1

My maternal grandma was a tough, tough lady and a stern woman, who lost her husband young and raised six kids by herself. She lived in a mining community in Upstate New York and ran a boarding house for miners. She took care of an entire family and miners who lived in the house as well Picture Quote #1

My wife is way funnier than I am. As much as I don’t really feel I share a sense of humour with my family, I definitely share one with her - we find the same things funny Picture Quote #1

Once I moved to Chicago and started trying to get acting jobs, I just tended to book more things that were comedically based than anything else. I never had the preconceived notion, ‘I will be a comedic actor.’ I just thought, ‘I’ll go into acting and see what kind of work I can get.’ Picture Quote #1

There’s such a freewheeling nature to ‘Second City,’ and the greatest thing about ‘Second City’ was having a sophisticated audience night after night who appreciated what it was. They knew it wasn’t all going to be great when you improvised, so they were very forgiving that way Picture Quote #1

There’s very little you could do to prepare to be a correspondent on ‘The Daily Show,’ because it’s not being a journalist, it’s not being an actor. It involves elements of both of those things, but they’re not required necessarily as job experience. It’s helpful if you know how to improvise, but again, not a requirement Picture Quote #1

They love 3-D. It’s fun to watch a movie in 3-D with your children or with a group of children because you see the kids in front of you from time to time reaching up. You see little hands reaching up to grab things that they think are right there. I think it’s remarkable and it does obviously, literally, add another dimension to the movie Picture Quote #1

When I first started looking at Twitter, I followed people like Steve Martin, who will just write the funniest non sequiturs now and then, which I thought was really fun. That’s kind of the road I’ve taken. Every now and then, something comes into your mind and you put it out there. It’s very innocuous. I think it’s kind of fun Picture Quote #1

You know what Disneyland is known for? The Big Turkey Leg. People walk around with enormous deep-fried turkey legs. Like little kids, three-year-old kids eating these five-pound turkey legs Picture Quote #1

You never saw Peter Sellers the actor trying to make you laugh. All he was doing was the character. What I’m saying is that I don’t think you should know you’re in a movie. I don’t like it when actors are winking at the audience and saying, ‘Right, isn’t this funny? Are you with me?’ Picture Quote #1

We are all facing the end one day or another. I say, live a good and prosperous life, make sure your choices count, make them count Picture Quote #1

I’ve always enjoyed watching characters that aren’t aware that they’re doing anything funny. And I think that inherently makes them funnier Picture Quote #1

I think ultimately, when you believe somebody is going through a situation and it’s either awkward or ridiculous, but you believe it, that can be funny Picture Quote #1

If somebody takes the parking place you were waiting for, I tend to kind of let it roll off my back. Maybe I’m harboring a lot of something and it will all explode somewhere down the road, but I tend to just let it slide off my back Picture Quote #1

I was a bad dater, and up until 8th grade I went to an all boy’s school. So, by the time I hit high school I was a bit freaked out by women in general Picture Quote #1

My parents had a certain resolve to them that I don’t see as so prevalent today. Through good times and bad, they were committed to one another. Their relationship wasn’t something to be constantly examined or picked apart Picture Quote #1

Different things just strike people differently. And it’s so subjective, too. Because what makes one person laugh won’t make others laugh. I guess it’s kind of checkerboarded Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Whenever I’m offered something, I always read the script and meet the director. I still appreciate just being considered Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a little bit of idiot in everybody and I think some people cover it better than others but I think I am very much a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve Picture Quote #1

I think in most relationships that have problems, there’s fault on both sides. And in order for it to work, there has to be some common ground that’s shared. And it’s not just one person making amends Picture Quote #1

People know where romantic comedies are going. It’s not brain surgery to figure out the end of a romantic comedy Picture Quote #1

For me, at least, all of my career goals, all of my focus, everything just shifted and the importance was my children, and that’s where all the joy came from as well Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else’s writing Picture Quote #1

I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said my tummy itches Picture Quote #1

When someone is good, but it doesn’t seem like their world will collapse if they don’t get the part, it’s more appealing. It’s like dating someone: You don’t want someone who’s too into you Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how other people perceive the lives of actors, but my life is fairly ordinary. I go to work, I come home, I put my kids to bed. If I’m home in time for dinner, I have dinner, and then it’s bedtime Picture Quote #1
