More quotes by 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
Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.
Steve Martin
I've decided to take up smoking, my doctor said I wasn't getting enough tar.
Steve Martin
In my banjo show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, I do do comedy during that show. It'd be absurd just to stand there mute and play 25 banjo songs.
Steve Martin
A father carries pictures where his money used to be.
Steve Martin
Lacy was just as happy alone as with company. When she was alone, she was potential with others she was realized.
Steve Martin

Steve Martin
Some people have a way with words, and other people...oh, uh, not have way.
Steve Martin
I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is someway.
Steve Martin
I loved to make people laugh in high school, and then I found I loved being on stage in front of people. I'm sure that's some kind of ego trip or a way to overcome shyness. I was very kind of shy and reserved, so there's a way to be on stage and be performing and balance your life out.
Steve Martin
I always think back to my high school days and realize all the people who were so popular then are nowhere now and all the people who were steadfast and steady-going are somewhere. So high school doesn't necessarily translate to later in life.
Steve Martin
It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.
Steve Martin
I realized that comedians of the day were operating on jokes and punch lines. The moment you say the punch line, the audience either laughs sincerely or they laugh automatically or they don't laugh. The thing that bothered me was that automatic laugh. I said, that's not real laughter.
Steve Martin
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.
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.
Steve Martin
Always make room for the unexpected in yourself.
Steve Martin
When I first started doing my stand-up act, I played the banjo, did comedy, magic tricks, juggled, read poetry. I stuck it all in. I didn't know you were supposed to just stand up and tell jokes. Essentially, that's what my act became: those five elements - except I dropped the poetry.
Steve Martin
Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
