I don't think I'm kind of universally known. I think in the indie world I'm probably better known than in some mainstream Hollywood terms.
From Steve Coogan
I try to not make safe choices, but I also like to do stuff which is interesting and is sort of exciting in some way and accessible.
Big comedy is good, I like things that are big, but good comedy has to be truthful I think and has to reflect some sort of reality.
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.
I don't like comedy that I think is bad comedy, where people are trying to be sick for the sake of it, where there's no intellectual point behind it. I like stuff that's got an underlying point of view.
I don't think there's anything outside what comedy can address.
Yeah, all drama teachers are very effusive, very demonstrative, very emotionally open, very big, and gesticulate a lot, and are very physical.
I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.
My father worked for IBM. My mother raised us kids. There were six of us, and a couple of extra foster kids at any given time.
I don't like new bands. I don't want to be one of those pathetic old men in their forties who knows exactly what 18-year-olds are into.
