More quotes by Steve Martin
To have someone play off and be with a band is more pleasurable.
Steve Martin
Tweeting is really only good for one thing - it's just good for tweeting... It is rewarding, because it's just its own reward. It's sort of like heaven.

My fear represented the failure of the human system. It is a sad truth of our creation: Something is amiss in our design, there are loose ends of our psychology that are simply not wrapped up. My fears were the dirty secrets of evolution. They were not provided for, and I was forced to construct elaborate temples to house them.
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.

I like what a third man brings. A kind of oblique vision, seeing something in the material that you didn't know was there. As a comedian, I'm always listening to the audience. And in movies, sometimes the only audience you have is the producer and the director. I like having someone else's opinion, especially if you're on the same wavelength.
Steve Martin
I believe in equality. Equality for everybody. No matter how stupid they are or how superior I am to them.
Steve Martin
I'm tired of wasting letters when punctuation will do, period.
Steve Martin
I really enjoy finding the right word, creating a good, flowing sentence. I enjoy the rhythm of the words.
Steve Martin
As a school board we felt it's an unfair expense to families. The lawsuit has a certain logic to it - if you have free public education, you can't put these things on top of it. It defeats the purpose.
Steve Martin
You want to know how I think art should be taught to children? Take them to a museum and say, 'This is art, and you can't do it.
Steve Martin
Now let's repeat the non-conformists' oath: I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people say! Good!
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
Nothing I do is done by popular demand.
Steve Martin
Ah, yes. I remember my first beer.
Steve Martin
So she viewed time spent in the land of the normal as an investigation into the world of marriage-worthy men, even if she was unsure about her own interest in marriage. There must be one solid citizen who also had a spark of life, a sense of humor and adventure.
