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.

I always tell people that to be the funny person in a Steve Martin movie is like getting a call that Keith Moon wants you to play drums on his record. He should be playing drums on his record.

I would like to be someone like Steve Martin. That's the path I'd like to follow.

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
Be dull and boring and omnipresent
Criticize things you don't know about
Be oblong and have your knees removed

I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.

Billy Crystal, Steve Martin do wonderful things.
