Steve Martin is such an exquisite and precise writer. Everything is so clear; it’s like a bell. He says what he means and says it so beautifully Picture Quote #1

Now let’s repeat the non-conformists’ oath: I promise to be different! (Audience repeats) I promise to be unique! (Audience repeats) I promise not to repeat things other people say! (Audience repeats, laughs) Good! Picture Quote #1

People come up to me and say Steve, what is film editing? and I say How should I know? You’re the director Picture Quote #1

Steve Martin is one of the most intelligent, well-read human beings that I’ve ever come across. He is equally as funny off screen as he is on. But he also has a very intellectual side, and he’s a really nice human being. We actually become good friends Picture Quote #1

Hosting the Oscars is much like making love to a woman. It’s something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town Picture Quote #1

I really love Steve Martin and all the stuff he did in the 70s. I think it’s really great Picture Quote #1

The only thing I really recommend, if you’re starting out in stand-up is to not try to copy anybody else. You can be influenced by people. I was influenced by Steve Martin and Bob Newhart and Woody Allen, but I never tried to be someone else. I always tried to be myself. And the reason people are successful is they’re unique Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic Picture Quote #1

I actually credit Twitter with fine-tuning some joke-writing skills. I still feel like I’m working at it Picture Quote #1

What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I loved doing ‘Pennies from Heaven.’ Because you have to understand that I’d been doing comedy for 15 to 20 years, and suddenly along came the opportunity to do this beautiful film. It was so emotional to me. I loved it. I don’t think it was a good career move, but I have no regrets about doing it Picture Quote #1

I was raised with ‘Laurel and Hardy’ and ‘I Love Lucy’ and Jerry Lewis, and I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it’s the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you’re performing in your bedroom for yourself Picture Quote #1

I would get records by Earl Scruggs... I would tune my banjo down and I’d pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger, who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking... And I kind of worked out my own style of playing Picture Quote #1

Movies always are open to being remade because times change so much, and the tempo of movies changes. I think of it like a James Bond. They can have different actors play the same role... I’ve had people come up to me and say, ‘We want to remake ‘The Jerk’ with so and so.’ And I say, ‘Fine.’ It just doesn’t bother me. It’s an honor actually Picture Quote #1

No matter how many times people say it - ‘Oh, I’m just writing this for myself’ ‘Oh, I’m just doing this for myself’ - nobody’s doing it for themselves! You’re doing it for an audience. So whether I’m performing or writing a book or playing music, it’s definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely Picture Quote #1
