Steve Martin
As a human being on Earth, you can't imagine friendship not being important in some other solar system or some other planet, or some other context of beings that are conscious. We even see it in animals. It is important for people on Earth to reach out or reach into someone.
Steve Martin
It's not tipping I believe in. It's overtipping.

The banjo is truly an American instrument, and it captures something about our past.
Steve Martin
Acting keeps me alert to people, and life. I don't know, there's something about going to work early in the morning, and having to stay alert and concentrated. Maybe that keeps your mind alive.
Steve Martin
