There are few takers for the quiet heart.

I believe Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was... an Arctic region covered with ice.

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.

When I first started doing my comedy act, I just desperately needed material. So I took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines. I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy.

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.

I handed in a script last year and the studio didn't change one word. The word they didn't change was on page 87.

It's like painting the same blank canvas over and over and over and over and over. Once the concept is known, you don't need to see two. And that was in the back of my head, that I was really done artistically with what I had created or pastiched.

I'm 48. For a while after 'The Jerk' (movie) I had a feeling of failure. I was a little scared. First people discover you and they love you. You get big and then you fail. And people are glad that you fail. But I've always come back and I've started to trust myself.

Ah, yes. I remember my first beer.

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
Image
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
Image
It eventually appeared to be me, cinematically. When I was writing it I was actually an author, you know, writing a book. ... But there certainly is a difference in energy between a younger man and an older man.
Steve Martin

I was very vulnerable to criticism for many years. I could read a bad review and remember it my whole life.
Steve Martin
Image
I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is someway.
Steve Martin
Image
Whether I'm involved in creating something or not, it's a personal issue of do I respect it. But you can only know that five or ten years later.

Teaching is, after all, a form of show business.

I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.

Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.

Halle Berry is here, whose win last year broke down barriers for unbelievably hot women.
