More quotes by 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.

Steve Martin
So, I can hurt now, or hurt later.
Steve Martin
Being on Twitter is like having a fern.
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

Steve Martin
Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
Steve Martin

Steve Martin
Always make room for the unexpected in yourself.
Steve Martin
Tweeting is really only good for one thing - it's just good for tweeting... It is rewarding, because it's just its own reward. It's sort of like heaven.
Steve Martin
To me, torture would be, I can't think what to write in the next sentence. I'm stuck. Torture would be if you didn't have the next idea.
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.
