More quotes by Steve Martin
I just wanted to be in show business. I didn't care if I was going to be an actor or a magician or what. Comedy was a point of the least resistance, really. And on the simplest level, I loved comedy.
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
The operation was a success, but I'm afraid the doctor is dead.
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
Relationships end, but they don't end your life. But people do often spending more time finding out about failed relationships than finding successful ones.
Steve Martin
I can understand the drug thing. So they feel that it's more important to take the drugs than to do a good show for the people.
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
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'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
With comedy, you have no place to go but more comedy, so you're never off the hook.
Steve Martin
With a cheery delicacy she divided my obsessions into three categories: acceptable, unacceptable, and hilarious.
Steve Martin
I started a grease fire at McDonald's - threw a match in the cook's hair.
Steve Martin
It's not the size of the nose that matters, it's what's inside that counts.
Steve Martin
At first I had no skills in writing comedy. I didn't know what a joke was, but, as someone once told me, your emotions follow your intent. If you create the intention of starting a comedy act, slowly your mind starts adjusting and you arrive at a new emotional state.
Steve Martin
The environment changed with Martha Stewart and Enron.
Steve Martin
I had loved magic tricks from the time I was six or seven. I bought books on magic. I did magic acts for my parents and their friends. I was aiming for show business from early days, and magic was the poor man's way of getting in: you buy a trick for $2, and you've got an act.
Steve Martin
She had destroyed whatever was between us by making a profound gaffe: She met me.
Steve Martin
You kill me and I'll see that you never work in this town again.
Steve Martin
Dinosaurs did not walk with humans. The evolutionary record says different. They gambled.
Steve Martin
I was raised with Laurel and Hardy and I Love Lucy and Jerry Lewis, and I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it's the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you're performing in your bedroom for yourself.
