More quotes by Steve Martin
She tried to get even with him through psychological warfare but couldn't, because he didn't care.
Steve Martin
No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh, I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh, I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music, it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely.
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.
Steve Martin
These days it's hard to look at a poodle without thinking what a good meal he would make.
Steve Martin
I'm trying to think of other ones. Oh, yeah, I'd say - somebody would buy something and we'd say, and because you are our hundredth customer today, you get a free paperback.
Steve Martin
I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View,' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.
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
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
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
I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.
Steve Martin
I couldn't see his face, because the light came in from behind him and he was in shadow, and he said, I am Picasso. And I said, Well, so what?
Steve Martin
The operation was a success, but I'm afraid the doctor is dead.
Steve Martin
After one of my plays came out, I had mixed reviews, some bad and some good. One day, it dawned on me. I thought, 'I wrote a play and he wrote a review, and that's the difference between him and me.'
Steve Martin
she is nearing forty and not so easily forgiven as when her skin bloomed like roses.
Steve Martin
I will do anything to look like him - except, of course, exercise or eat right.
Steve Martin
The bluegrass community... can be very strict. I didn't know if I'd be welcomed into the bluegrass community or not, but I think they judge you very fairly... I felt really welcome.
Steve Martin
I was deeply unhappy, but I didn't know it because I was so happy all the time.
Steve Martin
When you're touring and if you go to a party, there's automatically a celebrity-audience distance. It follows you around, especially when you're on the road in small towns. Any time there is awe, it gets very difficult to be normal, to be yourself. But I'm not saying that that's what made me the way I am. I've probably always been distant.
Steve Martin
Now let's repeat the non-conformists' oath: I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people say! Good!
Steve Martin
I really enjoy finding the right word, creating a good, flowing sentence. I enjoy the rhythm of the words.
Steve Martin
