The teen years are extremely ...

The teen years are extremely serious and everything matters and every insult really hurts. I know there are cliques and bullying. And you don't yet ­understand that it will all go away.

It's horrible for someone to ...

It's horrible for someone to listen to someone learning any instrument - when I was first learning the banjo, I used to have to go out and sit in the car, and even in the summertime I'd have to roll up the windows. Because you just couldn't practice a banjo or a fiddle with other people around. Unless they're being paid.

Writing is something I took u...

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.

Steve Martin 375 quotes

So much emotion can be brough...

So much emotion can be brought in an animated film that's very hard to get in a live-action film. I haven't quite put my finger on why, but it might be because the characters can make facial expression that, if you made them in a movie, they'd call them corny.

So, while fitting in, she was...

So, while fitting in, she was like a wicked detail standing out against a placid background.

Steve Martin 375 quotes

I loved magic, and so I would...

I loved magic, and so I would practice my magic tricks in front of a mirror for hours and hours and hours because I was told that you must practice, you must practice and never present a trick before it's ready.

I have no fear, no fear at al...

I have no fear, no fear at all. I wake up, and I have no fear. I go to bed without fear. Fear, fear, fear, fear. Yes, 'fear' is a word that is not in my vocabulary.

I didn't come from a wealthy ...

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.

Lacy was just as happy alone ...

Lacy was just as happy alone as with company. When she was alone, she was potential; with others she was realized.

Steve Martin 375 quotes

I hope people find my movies ...

I hope people find my movies funny and will watch them years from now. And, in terms of writing, I hope that something remains that will not seem old-fashioned, that will still have a ­vibrancy to it 50 years from now.

Steve Martin 375 quotes

I knew I could only play Cyra...

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 375 quotes

Performing music is a way to ...

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.

I have heard it said that a complicated childhood can lead to a life in the arts. I tell you this story of my father and me to let you know I am qualified to be a comedian.

Steve Martin 375 quotes

You want to know how I think ...

You want to know how I think art should be taught to children? Take them to a museum and say, 'This is art, and you can't do it.

With a cheery delicacy she divided my obsessions into three categories: acceptable, unacceptable, and hilarious.

I couldn't see his face, because the light came in from behind him and he was in shadow, and he said, "I am Picasso." And I said, "Well, so what?

Mirabelle is attractive; it's just that she is never the first or second girl chosen.

Why sip from a tea cup, when you can drink from the river.

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