Dinosaurs did not walk with humans. The evolutionary record says different. They gambled.
Steve Martin
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.
Steve Martin
Only then does he realize what he has done to Mirabelle, how wanting a square inch of her and not all of her has damaged them both, and how he cannot justify his actions except that, well, it was life.
Steve Martin
I'm not a human being. I'm despicable and disgusting - but that's where the money is.
Steve Martin
I really enjoy the social aspects of music as much as anything.
Steve Martin
I realized that comedians of the day were operating on jokes and punch lines. The moment you say the punch line, the audience either laughs sincerely or they laugh automatically or they don't laugh. The thing that bothered me was that automatic laugh. I said, that's not real laughter.
Steve Martin
I think films are about having a good time, so I don't know that there's a message. The message of a film is always what a critic writes, and the fun of a film or the emotion of a film is what the audience feels.
Steve Martin
I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.
Steve Martin
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
...a young man, Jamaican, perhaps, his head circled in a scarf with sunbleached dreadlocks on piled on top, looking like a plate of soft-shell crabs.
Steve Martin
I believe Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was... an Arctic region covered with ice.
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
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
What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.
Steve Martin
It's not the size of the nose that matters, it's what's inside that counts.
Steve Martin
I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy.
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
Bad psychoanalysis would say I enjoyed pleasing people, working really hard and pleasing people, which is probably related to my father in some way. But I really liked working hard. When I worked at Disneyland, I'd do 12 hours straight and go home thrilled.
Steve Martin
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.
Steve Martin
I just believe that the interesting time in a career is pre-success, what shaped things, how did you get to this point.
