More quotes by Steve Martin
Or is it that I think too much?
Steve Martin
The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself.
Steve Martin

Steve Martin
I am a wild and crazy guy!
Steve Martin
I handed in a script last year and the studio didn't change one word. The word they didn't change was on page 87.
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

Steve Martin
There's someone out there for everyone - even if you need a pickaxe, a compass, and night goggles to find them.
Steve Martin
... you're nuts but you're welcome here.
Steve Martin
My problem is that I don't get the same exhiliration from success as I get depression from failure.
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
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
Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.
Steve Martin
Comedy makes you humble. Because there are so many opportunities to miss, and strike out.
Steve Martin
Teaching is, after all, a form of show business.
Steve Martin
With a cheery delicacy she divided my obsessions into three categories: acceptable, unacceptable, and hilarious.
Steve Martin
