More quotes by Steve Martin
I can understand the drug thing. So they feel that it's more important to take the drugs than to do a good show for the people.
Steve Martin
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
When you're touring and if you go to a party, there's automatically a celebrity-audience distance. It follows you around, especially when you're on the road in small towns. Any time there is awe, it gets very difficult to be normal, to be yourself. But I'm not saying that that's what made me the way I am. I've probably always been distant.
Steve Martin
We've taken what was just once a racetrack and made it a multifaceted gaming destination for the entire region.

Halle Berry is here, whose win last year broke down barriers for unbelievably hot women.
Steve Martin
I find animated movies very touching. They reach an audience that's hard to get with a live-action film.
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
Writer's block is a fancy term made up by whiners so they can have an excuse to drink alcohol.
Steve Martin
The Apple Pie Hubbub was a significant novel for me, because that's when I first started using verbs.
Steve Martin
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
It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.
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
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
Bad psychoanalysis would say I enjoyed pleasing people, working really hard and pleasing people, which is probably related to my father in some way. But I really liked working hard. When I worked at Disneyland, I'd do 12 hours straight and go home thrilled.
Steve Martin
It's not tipping I believe in. It's overtipping.
Steve Martin
Or is it that I think too much?
Steve Martin
I'm for the Wall Street Occupiers. But will they accept me when they find out I sell packaged mortgage default instruments to children?
Steve Martin
I handed in a script last year and the studio didn't change one word. The word they didn't change was on page 87.
Steve Martin
I always think back to my high school days and realize all the people who were so popular then are nowhere now and all the people who were steadfast and steady-going are somewhere. So high school doesn't necessarily translate to later in life.
Steve Martin
I cannot smell mothballs because it's so difficult to get their little legs apart.
