I’ve put an umbrella in my mouth and opened it. I sat in a lemon-meringue pie. I’ve done terrible things to my dog with a fork Picture Quote #1

I would like to be someone like Steve Martin. That’s the path I’d like to follow Picture Quote #1

I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really, really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums Picture Quote #1

When I first started looking at Twitter, I followed people like Steve Martin, who will just write the funniest non sequiturs now and then, which I thought was really fun. That’s kind of the road I’ve taken. Every now and then, something comes into your mind and you put it out there. It’s very innocuous. I think it’s kind of fun Picture Quote #1

The conscious mind is the editor, and the subconscious mind is the writer. And the joy of writing, when you’re writing from your subconscious, is beautiful - it’s thrilling. When you’re editing, which is your conscious mind, it’s like torture Picture Quote #1

She wasn’t that tough on me, but I think she was often a little frightened - being a single parent. So it begets this quality of desired absoluteness that doesn’t really exist. My sister could crack her up. She’d be getting into trouble and put the Steve Martin arrow through her head and mom would start to laugh. I didn’t have the same sort of wiliness Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Magic is the oldest part of the show business profession. It can now be used as a forward-thinking tool to build a child’s confidence. It has been an amazing part in many entertainers’ lives, including Steve Martin and the late Johnny Carson Picture Quote #1

Awards mean nothing to comedians. What matters is the audience, how you’re doing - artistically, for the most part - at that moment Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I find animated movies very touching. They reach an audience that’s hard to get with a live-action film Picture Quote #1

Communication has changed so rapidly in the last 20 years, it’s almost impossible to predict what might occur even in the next decade. E-mail, which now sends data hurtling across vast distances at the speed of light, has replaced primitive forms of communication such as smoke signals, which sent data hurtling across vast distances at the speed of light Picture Quote #1

Both my parents recognized early on that I wanted to do something in comedy, and they were really supportive. They’re the ones who bought me Steve Martin records and let me watch R-rated comedies long before they probably should have Picture Quote #1

There’s a big difference between the National Book Awards and the Academy Awards. At the Academy Awards you can feel the greed and envy and ego. Whereas the National Book Awards are in New York Picture Quote #1

I love animated films when they are good, because they do bring a lot of emotion and heart that’s very difficult to get in a live action film Picture Quote #1

All of our heroes did silly stuff early and got more serious as time went on. Steve Martin, Adam Sandler, Bill Murray. They got older, wiser, and made different choices Picture Quote #1

I never touched a gun in my life. That and that alone forever doomed me to middle management Picture Quote #1

I really like the animated film process. It’s kind of like doing a play, because you can experiment with it, rewrite it, screen it, go back, then work on it a little bit more. If the joke doesn’t work, you can fix it. It’s different from a live action movie Picture Quote #1

You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do. You want to be focused on it Picture Quote #1

It’s a mystery to me the way that contemporary art galleries function Picture Quote #1

I was very vulnerable to criticism for many years. I could read a bad review and remember it my whole life Picture Quote #1
