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 some way. – Steve Martin
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a good one because it not only turned out, I think, to be a really funny movie but it was also a delight to shoot. We were in the South of France, working with Glenne Headly and Michael Caine and Frank Oz the director – who were just fun. – Steve Martin
I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art youre an idiot. – Steve Martin
Im enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything thats considered artistic, theres a commercial world around it: the ballet, opera, any kind of music. It cant exist without it. – Steve Martin
If youre out there stressing on your pro day, then youre not going to perform well, so I plan on having a little fun. Play a little music while were out there throwing the football, have everybody tapping their toes and bobbing their head and just go out there and make the most of the experience. – Robert Griffin III
