James Corden: Best Quotes

“It’s strange how things seem to come full circle. You know what I mean? I’m sure you do. The way your life seems to drift along with no set path, then something good happens to you and you can trace the line that brought you there back to a specific disappointment or rejection you suffered in the past. It’s nice that things can level out that way.”

“Louis Tomlinson, who is a member of One Direction, his mum was a chaperone on ‘Fat Friends.’ So Louis used to come to the set with his mum, and since I was the only sort of young person around, we would kick a football around, things like that.” 

“No one could have predicted on day one of the rehearsals, that a year and a half later we would have shot a film and all be living in New York. It was surreal.”  

“Nobody tells you when success comes around; in its transient way, you’re just working and exhausted all the time. Sometimes I think I’m just sleeping in the back of cars, d’you know what I mean?” 

“It doesn’t help anyone to judge their happiness or career by looking at where others may or may not be. Dad said it best: ‘All the time you’re looking left and right at other people, you’re neglecting what’s in front of you.If you focus on looking straight ahead, you can take the odd glance at the future.’ He’s got a way of saying things sometimes that just puts everything into perspective.”

“On stage, you have to have incredible confidence, or you would stop doing it. But I don’t think I will ever get to the point where I go, ‘I know exactly what I am doing,’ and I don’t think I want to.” 

“I don’t consider myself to be incredibly confident, or really lacking in confidence. When you’re on Jonathan Ross’ or Graham Norton’s show, inevitably there’s something to sell. And there’s a live audience; you’re sat between Cameron Diaz and Tinie Tempah – I don’t really see it as ‘me.’ It would be odd if it was.”  

“I guess I have a faith. I have an overriding feeling that all of this can’t be for nothing. But then I also fully understand that it might be.”

“While you’re encouraging people to think about what goes into their mouths, just think a little harder about what comes out of yours” 

“When The ‘Guardian’ is commissioning writers to write obituary pieces about you and your career… it doesn’t get much nastier than that. And you’ve just got to go, ‘It doesn’t actually matter.”

“I was always the kid at school who thought it was a good idea to set off the fire alarm. And much as I’m aware that that’s a trait which also propels other things which are good, I wish I could just pause and go, ‘Is this really what you want to do?”

James Corden is best known for ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, which started airing from 2015 on the CBS network. The show has been a great success both on TV and online (its YouTube channel has 22.3 million subscribers).
