Steve Carell on being funny

Steve Carell - The star of The Office talks to Elle and gives us a glimpse of the one Carell persona we don’t know by heart.


On being funny: “It’s a challenge for me to try to be funny because I don’t consider myself to be a very funny person one-to-one. I’m not on all the time. So going on a talk show and trying to engage in witty chatter is difficult because I just don’t think I’m that guy. I don’t perform when I’m not performing.�

On sweating when he’s nervous: “See, I’d never done any of these talk shows, and I just sort of loathed-especially at first-being myself because it was so much easier for me to be a character. So the first talk show I was ever on, the Jimmy Kimmel show, I broke into a flop sweat to rival the moment in Broadcast News. I got nervous, and then I got nervous about sweating, which made me sweat more…So halfway through the interview, he stopped and said, ‘You sweat more than any person I’ve ever seen on my show.’ So we made it into a bit. We came back from commercial, and I’d poured water all over my head, I’d drenched my clothes. When they turned the camera back on, I was saying, ‘Wow, I feel so much better.’�

On the unpredictability of his career so far: “I’m not precious about my career. My career so far has had no rhyme or reason…there’s still a sense that it’s not real.�

On soaking up the good life: “You know what I had for lunch? A steak sandwich. I didn’t get the hamburger. The steak was four dollars more.�

On who makes him laugh right now: “I think Sacha Baron Cohen is a really talented and funny guy. And Dave Chappelle. I met him at a urinal at the NBA All-Star game, so that was my favorite trip to the men’s room ever.�
