With comedy, you never know until you put it in front of an audience. You shoot it and a year later you have no idea if it's going to work. And then you get the response. It's great when it's good.

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
The operation was a success, but I'm afraid the doctor is dead.
Steve Martin
Private companies have a lot of capital. They can run things efficiently and get projects built.

Comedians don`t get Oscars, so I gave up on that a long time ago. And I can`t really speak about the Oscar-worthiness of my own performance.
Steve Martin
There's someone out there for everyone - even if you need a pickaxe, a compass, and night goggles to find them.
Steve Martin
First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.
