Steve Martin
You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.
Steve Martin
With comedy, you have no place to go but more comedy, so you're never off the hook.
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
So, I can hurt now, or hurt later.
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
If you feel tired midway through, give Neil Patrick Harris a Red Bull and throw some sheet music at him.
Steve Martin
To me, torture would be, I can't think what to write in the next sentence. I'm stuck. Torture would be if you didn't have the next idea.
Steve Martin
