More quotes by Steve Martin
She didn't even finish her last sentence it just trailed off. I think the subject had changed in her head while her mouth had continued on the old topic, not realizing it was out of supplies.
Steve Martin
So, while fitting in, she was like a wicked detail standing out against a placid background.
Steve Martin
A friend of mine once asked how to make it in show business and I said Be so good that they can't ignore you. She thought I was being flip but it's true. The challenge is trying to live up to the opportunities given me.
Steve Martin
Unlike Ray Porter, his love is fearless and without reservation.
Steve Martin
The emotions of men, however, were of a different order. They were pesky annoyances, small dust devils at her feet. Her knack for causing heartbreak was innate, but her vitality often made people forgive her romantic misdeeds.
Steve Martin
Always do business as if the person you're doing business with is trying to screw you, because he probably is. And if he's not, you can be pleasantly surprised.
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.
Steve Martin
You know when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!
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
A kiss may not be the truth, but it is what we wish were true.
Steve Martin
When you're touring and if you go to a party, there's automatically a celebrity-audience distance. It follows you around, especially when you're on the road in small towns. Any time there is awe, it gets very difficult to be normal, to be yourself. But I'm not saying that that's what made me the way I am. I've probably always been distant.
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.
Steve Martin
So much emotion can be brought in an animated film that's very hard to get in a live-action film. I haven't quite put my finger on why, but it might be because the characters can make facial expression that, if you made them in a movie, they'd call them corny.
Steve Martin
Somewhere in the world is...The world's worst doctor and he could be yours.
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 was very interested in vaudeville. It was the only sort of discipline that was a five-minute act on stage, which is what I really enjoyed and saw myself doing. And I bought books on it.
Steve Martin
I would get records by Earl Scruggs... I would tune my banjo down and I'd pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger, who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking... And I kind of worked out my own style of playing.
Steve Martin
I find animated movies very touching. They reach an audience that's hard to get with a live-action film.
Steve Martin
What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.
Steve Martin
Comedy makes you humble. Because there are so many opportunities to miss, and strike out.
Steve Martin
