More quotes by Steve Martin
Unlike Ray Porter, his love is fearless and without reservation.
Steve Martin
Tweeting is really only good for one thing - it's just good for tweeting... It is rewarding, because it's just its own reward. It's sort of like heaven.
Steve Martin
...the divided world of Aspen, where locals with a sense of entitlement were pitted against developers with a sense of condominiums.
Steve Martin
I ignored my stand-up career for twenty-five years, but now, having finished this memoir, I view this time with surprising warmth. One can have, it turns out, an affection for the war years.
Steve Martin
I've run into people in my life who were so dramatic people who are so extreme and so frustrating to be around that you end up thinking about them and talking about them for literally years after your experience with them is over.

What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.
Steve Martin
The overhead lights reflect in the glass countertop and mingle in the gray and black of the gloves, resulting in a mother-of-pearl swirl that sometimes sends Mirabelle into a shallow hypnotic dream.
Steve Martin
In a strange way, I don't have a job, so I have a lot of time on my hands. When I do work, it might be very concentrated, and it might be months where you're not really doing anything except maybe playing the banjo or writing something. You know, there's a lot of time in the day if you're not working 9 to 5.

How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars
Steve Martin
Working at the magic shop really gave me a sense of comedy because it was all jokes.
Steve Martin
You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.
Steve Martin
At first I had no skills in writing comedy. I didn't know what a joke was, but, as someone once told me, your emotions follow your intent. If you create the intention of starting a comedy act, slowly your mind starts adjusting and you arrive at a new emotional state.
Steve Martin
There are few takers for the quiet heart.
Steve Martin
Despite a lack of natural ability, I did have the one element necessary to all early creativity: naïveté, that fabulous quality that keeps you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do.
Steve Martin
She tried to get even with him through psychological warfare but couldn't, because he didn't care.
Steve Martin
A friend of mine once asked how to make it in show business and I said Be so good that they can't ignore you. She thought I was being flip but it's true. The challenge is trying to live up to the opportunities given me.
Steve Martin
Ah, yes. I remember my first beer.
Steve Martin
I was deeply unhappy, but I didn't know it because I was so happy all the time.
Steve Martin
Whether I'm involved in creating something or not, it's a personal issue of do I respect it. But you can only know that five or ten years later.
Steve Martin
It's horrible for someone to listen to someone learning any instrument - when I was first learning the banjo, I used to have to go out and sit in the car, and even in the summertime I'd have to roll up the windows. Because you just couldn't practice a banjo or a fiddle with other people around. Unless they're being paid.
Steve Martin
