Steve Martin
Unlike Ray Porter, his love is fearless and without reservation.
Steve Martin
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. So I went looking for a writer. But it was such a personal idea, and anyone I would give it to would make it his own. It's hard to ask Neil Simon to write your idea.
Steve Martin
I think communication is so firsbern.
Steve Martin
His view of the world is one that keeps his blood pressure low, sweeping the cholesterol from his relaxed, freeway-sized arteries. Everyone knows he is going to live till age ninety, although the question that goes begging is, “for what?
Steve Martin
With comedy, you have no place to go but more comedy, so you're never off the hook.
Steve Martin
Working at the magic shop really gave me a sense of comedy because it was all jokes.
Steve Martin
We've taken what was just once a racetrack and made it a multifaceted gaming destination for the entire region.
Steve Martin
I'm trying to think of other ones. Oh, yeah, I'd say - somebody would buy something and we'd say, and because you are our hundredth customer today, you get a free paperback.
