More quotes by Steve Martin
In a strange way, I don't have a job, so I have a lot of time on my hands. When I do work, it might be very concentrated, and it might be months where you're not really doing anything except maybe playing the banjo or writing something. You know, there's a lot of time in the day if you're not working 9 to 5.

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.

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.
Steve Martin
she is nearing forty and not so easily forgiven as when her skin bloomed like roses.
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.

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.

Steve Martin
Writing is something I took up rather than anything I had an inclination toward. I like acting -delivering someone else's message - but writing is more of an accomplishment.

Mirabelle is attractive it's just that she is never the first or second girl chosen.
Steve Martin
It [live performance] is just very difficult. Doing an hour, hour and a half of live standup is an endurance test. You almost have to do it every day to stay up on it.
Steve Martin
Writing is extremely personal, and that's the joy of it for me.
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
There are some people that will not pick up a phone and call you, but if you knock on a door and talk to them, they'll talk back to you.
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
I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.
Steve Martin
I've run into people in my life who were so dramatic people who are so extreme and so frustrating to be around that you end up thinking about them and talking about them for literally years after your experience with them is over.
Steve Martin
Being on Twitter is like having a fern.
Steve Martin
I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy.
Steve Martin
I cannot smell mothballs because it's so difficult to get their little legs apart.
Steve Martin
She didn't even finish her last sentence it just trailed off. I think the subject had changed in her head while her mouth had continued on the old topic, not realizing it was out of supplies.

Always make room for the unexpected in yourself.
