More quotes by Steve Martin
When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.
Steve Martin
I just believe that the interesting time in a career is pre-success, what shaped things, how did you get to this point.

So much emotion can be brought in an animated film that's very hard to get in a live-action film. I haven't quite put my finger on why, but it might be because the characters can make facial expression that, if you made them in a movie, they'd call them corny.

So I went looking for a writer. But it was such a personal idea, and anyone I would give it to would make it his own. It's hard to ask Neil Simon to write your idea.
Steve Martin
You can't make something beautiful by trying to make something beautiful. Something becomes beautiful in the process of trying to be something else.

All of life’s riddles are answered in the movies.

I really like the animated film process. It's kind of like doing a play, because you can experiment with it, rewrite it, screen it, go back, then work on it a little bit more. If the joke doesn't work, you can fix it. It's different from a live action movie.
Steve Martin
So she viewed time spent in the land of the normal as an investigation into the world of marriage-worthy men, even if she was unsure about her own interest in marriage. There must be one solid citizen who also had a spark of life, a sense of humor and adventure.
Steve Martin
So, I can hurt now, or hurt later.

The environment changed with Martha Stewart and Enron.
Steve Martin
Or is it that I think too much?
Steve Martin
I took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines.

It's not tipping I believe in. It's overtipping.
