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.

More quotes by 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
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.

The environment changed with Martha Stewart and Enron.

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.
Steve Martin
I am a wild and crazy guy!

It's very hard sometimes when you can't crack something or can't solve something and you keep trying and trying and you know it's falling a little bit short. That's very hard, but then when you finally do it, it's very rewarding and the process is good too, I like working with people this way.

I knew I could only play Cyrano if he were Americanized. I had no intention of writing the script myself. I was afraid of it. You're playing with fire when you tamper with a classic.

She was feeling her bohemian oats.
Steve Martin
Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.
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 did a lot of things when I first started out. In order to be in show business, I juggled, I did magic tricks, cards tricks and I played the banjo.
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
Teaching is, after all, a form of show business.
Steve Martin
So, I can hurt now, or hurt later.
Steve Martin
I'm tired of wasting letters when punctuation will do, period.
Steve Martin
The banjo is such a happy instrument--you can't play a sad song on the banjo - it always comes out so cheerful.
Steve Martin
In talking to girls I could never remember the right sequence of things to say. I'd meet a girl and say, Hi, was it good for you too? If a girl spent the night, I'd wake up in the morning and then try to get her drunk.
Steve Martin
. . . Now you see . . . they' re not fit for humans . . . Put them on me.

The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself.
