Quotes by Steve Carell

Nothing to me feels as good as laughing incredibly hard.

In my wildest dreams I never thought - well, I never thought Id work.

I dont think of myself as funny - I dont fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian.

Maybe the coolest people are the ones who dont care about being cool.

For the better part of my adult life, I proudly avoided nerd/nimrod/goober status. I was always just cool enough.

In an enclosed space, a camels breath can change the atmosphere of the room. Not only just the smell, they literally seem to change the atmospheric pressure. Its so disgusting. Its like they have eight stomachs each more rancid then the next and it just comes out of their mouth.

The best food is in Chicago. There are great restaurants everywhere, from fancy places to burger joints.

From cheesecake on a stick to meat skewers to deep-fried bananas on a stick - there are no plates anymore. In Los Angeles, everything has become a corn dog. Actually, corn dogs still work. But most other food should be stickless.

I had a friend who, after 25 years of marriage, found himself trying to date again, and it was completely different. Everything had changed, and he had to reacquaint himself. It was funny even talking to him about it. For someone who has been out of the loop, its a different world.

People say, Whats the secret to a marriage? Theres no secret - I think you get lucky.

You know, whats funny to one person is not at all to someone else.

Reading a book, watching a movie, going to a play, its transporting, and very, very exciting. And to be a part of that, creating things with your imagination, whoa.

Sending a handwritten letter is becoming such an anomaly. Its disappearing. My mom is the only one who still writes me letters. And theres something visceral about opening a letter - I see her on the page. I see her in her handwriting.

When someone is good, but it doesnt seem like their world will collapse if they dont get the part, its more appealing. Its like dating someone: You dont want someone whos too into you.

I love my wife dearly, and, therefore, Ive never cooked a meal, romantic or otherwise, for her.

I dont think my kids have to worry too much about me embarrassing them because thats not how I would want to grow up, with wacky dad showing up at school and performing for everyone.
