More quotes by Steve Martin
I love animated films when they are good, because they do bring a lot of emotion and heart that's very difficult to get in a live action film.
Steve Martin
...it is not the big events that hurt the most but rather the smallest questionable shift in tone at the end of a spoken word that can plow most deeply into the heart.
Steve Martin
You kill me and I'll see that you never work in this town again.

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.
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

When I first started doing my stand-up act, I played the banjo, did comedy, magic tricks, juggled, read poetry. I stuck it all in. I didn't know you were supposed to just stand up and tell jokes. Essentially, that's what my act became: those five elements - except I dropped the poetry.
Steve Martin
I am a wild and crazy guy!

How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars
Steve Martin
I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.
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
I couldn't see his face, because the light came in from behind him and he was in shadow, and he said, I am Picasso. And I said, Well, so what?
Steve Martin
The bluegrass community... can be very strict. I didn't know if I'd be welcomed into the bluegrass community or not, but I think they judge you very fairly... I felt really welcome.
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
You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.
