More quotes by Steve Martin
Or is it that I think too much?
Steve Martin
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
Steve Martin
I really enjoy finding the right word, creating a good, flowing sentence. I enjoy the rhythm of the words.
Steve Martin
Somewhere in the world is...The world's worst doctor and he could be yours.
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 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 used to think a wedding was a simple affair. Boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say I do. I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition.
Steve Martin
Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
Steve Martin
An apology? Bah! Disgusting! Cowardly! Beneath the dignity of any gentleman, however wrong he might be.
Steve Martin
Comedians don`t get Oscars, so I gave up on that a long time ago. And I can`t really speak about the Oscar-worthiness of my own performance.
Steve Martin
I'm trying to think of other ones. Oh, yeah, I'd say - somebody would buy something and we'd say, and because you are our hundredth customer today, you get a free paperback.
Steve Martin
Working at the magic shop really gave me a sense of comedy because it was all jokes.
Steve Martin
The environment changed with Martha Stewart and Enron.
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
Bad psychoanalysis would say I enjoyed pleasing people, working really hard and pleasing people, which is probably related to my father in some way. But I really liked working hard. When I worked at Disneyland, I'd do 12 hours straight and go home thrilled.
Steve Martin
Lord loves a workin' man don't trust whitey
Steve Martin
I don't really manage my time. I really just wait until I'm inspired to do something. And when I'm inspired to do something, it just happens.
Steve Martin
I happened to take a photo, and there was my wife, my dog and my banjo, all in the same shot - and I thought, Oh, that's like a family portrait right there.
Steve Martin
Some nights, alone, he thinks of her, and some nights, alone, she thinks of him. Some night these thoughts, separated by miles and time zones, occur at the same objective moment, and Ray and Mirabelle are connected without ever knowing it.
Steve Martin
Writing is extremely personal, and that's the joy of it for me.
Steve Martin
