More quotes by Steve Martin
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
Steve Martin
I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is someway.
Steve Martin
When I die, now don't think that I'm a nut, don't want no fancy funeral, just one like old King Tut.
Steve Martin
Ah, yes. I remember my first beer.
Steve Martin
I have heard it said that a complicated childhood can lead to a life in the arts. I tell you this story of my father and me to let you know I am qualified to be a comedian.
Steve Martin
Now let's repeat the non-conformists' oath: I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people say! Good!
Steve Martin
I've run into people in my life who were so dramatic people who are so extreme and so frustrating to be around that you end up thinking about them and talking about them for literally years after your experience with them is over.
Steve Martin
When you're touring and if you go to a party, there's automatically a celebrity-audience distance. It follows you around, especially when you're on the road in small towns. Any time there is awe, it gets very difficult to be normal, to be yourself. But I'm not saying that that's what made me the way I am. I've probably always been distant.
Steve Martin
The overhead lights reflect in the glass countertop and mingle in the gray and black of the gloves, resulting in a mother-of-pearl swirl that sometimes sends Mirabelle into a shallow hypnotic dream.
Steve Martin
I believe Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was... an Arctic region covered with ice.
Steve Martin
How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars
Steve Martin
...the divided world of Aspen, where locals with a sense of entitlement were pitted against developers with a sense of condominiums.
Steve Martin
Writing is something I took up rather than anything I had an inclination toward. I like acting -delivering someone else's message - but writing is more of an accomplishment.
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
In my banjo show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, I do do comedy during that show. It'd be absurd just to stand there mute and play 25 banjo songs.
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 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
I ignored my stand-up career for twenty-five years, but now, having finished this memoir, I view this time with surprising warmth. One can have, it turns out, an affection for the war years.
Steve Martin
I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. Boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say I do. I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition.
Steve Martin
Dinosaurs did not walk with humans. The evolutionary record says different. They gambled.
