Acting is collaborative because you are working with another actor, and it's almost like a two-man juggling team. You have to really be in sync.

More quotes by Steve Martin
I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.

So, I can hurt now, or hurt later.
Steve Martin
What I mean is that none of my talents had a - what's that great word - rubric. A singer, an actor, a dancer - there was nothing I could really say I was. The writing came much later. And, actually, thank God, because if I had said I'm a singer, I would really have just had one thing to do.
Steve Martin
When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.

...a young man, Jamaican, perhaps, his head circled in a scarf with sunbleached dreadlocks on piled on top, looking like a plate of soft-shell crabs.
Steve Martin
I didn't come from a wealthy family. I had no money. Maybe it goes back to naivete which is your greatest asset when you're young. If I was starting in comedy today and if it didn't work the first time, I'd probably quit. But I kept at it, kept at it.
Steve Martin
I find animated movies very touching. They reach an audience that's hard to get with a live-action film.
Steve Martin
The emotions of men, however, were of a different order. They were pesky annoyances, small dust devils at her feet. Her knack for causing heartbreak was innate, but her vitality often made people forgive her romantic misdeeds.
Steve Martin
Writing is extremely personal, and that's the joy of it for me.
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.
Steve Martin
These days it's hard to look at a poodle without thinking what a good meal he would make.
Steve Martin
Dinosaurs did not walk with humans. The evolutionary record says different. They gambled.
Steve Martin
I was very vulnerable to criticism for many years. I could read a bad review and remember it my whole life.
Steve Martin
I've heard lots of people lie to themselves but they never fool anyone.
Steve Martin
My problem is that I don't get the same exhiliration from success as I get depression from failure.
Steve Martin
I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is someway.
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
The Apple Pie Hubbub was a significant novel for me, because that's when I first started using verbs.
Steve Martin
As much as I remember, I just thought, I want to sing a song that starts normal and ends crazy.
Steve Martin
Performing music is a way to do comedy, but without the obligation to do a solid hour, hour and half of a standup. I could intersperse it with music, so it became a really good format for me.
