More quotes by Steve Martin
Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
Steve Martin
With a cheery delicacy she divided my obsessions into three categories: acceptable, unacceptable, and hilarious.
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
Comedy makes you humble. Because there are so many opportunities to miss, and strike out.
Steve Martin
Ah, yes. I remember my first beer.
Steve Martin
First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.
Steve Martin
What means the most to me changes through the years. There was a time when movies meant the most. But when I'm concentrating on a project, that's what means the most to me.
Steve Martin
Comedy is a distortion of what is happening, and there will always be something happening.
Steve Martin

Steve Martin

Steve Martin
I was deeply unhappy, but I didn't know it because I was so happy all the time.
Steve Martin
I'm for the Wall Street Occupiers. But will they accept me when they find out I sell packaged mortgage default instruments to children?
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
What is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.
Steve Martin
There are few takers for the quiet heart.
Steve Martin
I loved to make people laugh in high school, and then I found I loved being on stage in front of people. I'm sure that's some kind of ego trip or a way to overcome shyness. I was very kind of shy and reserved, so there's a way to be on stage and be performing and balance your life out.
Steve Martin
People come up to me and say Steve, what is film editing? And I say How should I know? You're the director.
Steve Martin
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
Steve Martin
. . . Now you see . . . they' re not fit for humans . . . Put them on me.
Steve Martin
I started a grease fire at McDonald's - threw a match in the cook's hair.
