More quotes by 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 think when the movie `Roxanne' came out, which I also had written, I felt something new that I never felt, which was respect.

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
Always make room for the unexpected in yourself.
Steve Martin
Comedy is a distortion of what is happening, and there will always be something happening.
Steve Martin
The operation was a success, but I'm afraid the doctor is dead.
Steve Martin
I cannot smell mothballs because it's so difficult to get their little legs apart.
Steve Martin
Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.
Steve Martin
I didn't worry if a bit got no response, as long as I believed it had enough response to linger.
Steve Martin
she is nearing forty and not so easily forgiven as when her skin bloomed like roses.
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
First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.
Steve Martin
No art comes from the conscious mind.
Steve Martin
It's not the size of the nose that matters, it's what's inside that counts.
