More quotes by Steve Martin
The Matisse seemed to respond to the decreasing light by increasing its own wattage. Every object in the room was drained of color, but the Matisse stood firm in the de-escalating illumination, its beauty turning functionality inside out, making itself a more practical and useful presence than anything else in sight.
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
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
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.

Deeply funny musings and adventures elevate Paul Rudnick to the highest level of American comedy writing.

I love animated films when they are good, because they do bring a lot of emotion and heart that's very difficult to get in a live action film.
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.

The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself.

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.

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

How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars
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.
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
I'm not a human being. I'm despicable and disgusting - but that's where the money is.
Steve Martin
I just don't identify myself with a place. I just don't get it. Like, why am I cheering for this town? Towns are good and bad but they don't have principles, constitutions. You wouldn't go to war for your town.
Steve Martin
I was not self-destructive, though I almost destroyed myself. In the end, I turned away from stand-up with a tired swivel of my head...
Steve Martin
I would get records by Earl Scruggs... I would tune my banjo down and I'd pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger, who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking... And I kind of worked out my own style of playing.
Steve Martin
I think films are about having a good time, so I don't know that there's a message. The message of a film is always what a critic writes, and the fun of a film or the emotion of a film is what the audience feels.
Steve Martin
So, while fitting in, she was like a wicked detail standing out against a placid background.

First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.
