More quotes by Steve Martin
I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.
Steve Martin
I did a lot of things when I first started out. In order to be in show business, I juggled, I did magic tricks, cards tricks and I played the banjo.
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
It's not what you know, it's what you think you know.
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.
Steve Martin
Writing is extremely personal, and that's the joy of it for me.
Steve Martin
People come up to me and say Steve, what is film editing? And I say How should I know? You're the director.
Steve Martin
Ah, yes. I remember my first beer.
Steve Martin
I can juggle. I started juggling as a kid. And when I worked at Disneyland, I knew a juggler there named Christopher Faire, and he taught me how to juggle. I used it in my comedy act for a while.
Steve Martin
The banjo is such a happy instrument--you can't play a sad song on the banjo - it always comes out so cheerful.
Steve Martin
With comedy, you never know until you put it in front of an audience. You shoot it and a year later you have no idea if it's going to work. And then you get the response. It's great when it's good.
Steve Martin
I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn, the Punch Brothers, and Marc Johnson, the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio, there's a lot of bluegrass there.
Steve Martin
What I mean is that none of my talents had a - what's that great word - rubric. A singer, an actor, a dancer - there was nothing I could really say I was. The writing came much later. And, actually, thank God, because if I had said I'm a singer, I would really have just had one thing to do.
Steve Martin
I was deeply unhappy, but I didn't know it because I was so happy all the time.
Steve Martin
I would assign every lie a color: yellow when they were innocent, pale blue when they sailed over you like the sky, red because I knew they drew blood. And then there was the black lie. That's the worst of all. A black lie was when I told you the truth.
Steve Martin
I hope people find my movies funny and will watch them years from now. And, in terms of writing, I hope that something remains that will not seem old-fashioned, that will still have a vibrancy to it 50 years from now.
Steve Martin
I really enjoy finding the right word, creating a good, flowing sentence. I enjoy the rhythm of the words.
Steve Martin
We've taken what was just once a racetrack and made it a multifaceted gaming destination for the entire region.
Steve Martin
... you're nuts but you're welcome here.
Steve Martin
She had destroyed whatever was between us by making a profound gaffe: She met me.
Steve Martin
