In a strange way, I don't have a job, so I have a lot of time on my hands.

Because you just couldn't practice a banjo or a fiddle with other people around. Unless they're being paid.
Steve Martin
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
Steve Martin
Always do business as if the person you're doing business with is trying to screw you, because he probably is. And if he's not, you can be pleasantly surprised.

I was very interested in vaudeville. It was the only sort of discipline that was a five-minute act on stage, which is what I really enjoyed and saw myself doing. And I bought books on it.
Steve Martin
Some nights, alone, he thinks of her, and some nights, alone, she thinks of him. Some night these thoughts, separated by miles and time zones, occur at the same objective moment, and Ray and Mirabelle are connected without ever knowing it.
Steve Martin
I started a grease fire at McDonald's - threw a match in the cook's hair.
Steve Martin
A kiss may not be the truth, but it is what we wish were true.
Steve Martin
The banjo is such a happy instrument--you can't play a sad song on the banjo - it always comes out so cheerful.
