I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent

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. – Steve Martin

Other quotes by Steve Martin

I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that its easier to be alone.
