More quotes by Steve Martin
I've decided to take up smoking, my doctor said I wasn't getting enough tar.
Steve Martin
You know when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!
Steve Martin
I love animated films when they are good, because they do bring a lot of emotion and heart that's very difficult to get in a live action film.
Steve Martin
It's like painting the same blank canvas over and over and over and over and over. Once the concept is known, you don't need to see two. And that was in the back of my head, that I was really done artistically with what I had created or pastiched.
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
You know that look that women get when they want to have sex? Me neither.
Steve Martin
I will do anything to look like him - except, of course, exercise or eat right.
Steve Martin
I like what a third man brings. A kind of oblique vision, seeing something in the material that you didn't know was there. As a comedian, I'm always listening to the audience. And in movies, sometimes the only audience you have is the producer and the director. I like having someone else's opinion, especially if you're on the same wavelength.
Steve Martin
Teaching is, after all, a form of show business.
Steve Martin
I just don't identify myself with a place. I just don't get it. Like, why am I cheering for this town? Towns are good and bad but they don't have principles, constitutions. You wouldn't go to war for your town.
Steve Martin
Only then does he realize what he has done to Mirabelle, how wanting a square inch of her and not all of her has damaged them both, and how he cannot justify his actions except that, well, it was life.
Steve Martin
Home to me is when someone comes up to me and says, Can I get a selfie? No. It's where your wife and your family are. It's the emotional place where you feel like you're not away from it.
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
I just believe that the interesting time in a career is pre-success, what shaped things, how did you get to this point.
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
Relationships end, but they don't end your life.
Steve Martin
...it is not the big events that hurt the most but rather the smallest questionable shift in tone at the end of a spoken word that can plow most deeply into the heart.
Steve Martin
My fear represented the failure of the human system. It is a sad truth of our creation: Something is amiss in our design, there are loose ends of our psychology that are simply not wrapped up. My fears were the dirty secrets of evolution. They were not provided for, and I was forced to construct elaborate temples to house them.
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
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
Steve Martin
