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
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
Im very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and its one of the great things about making movies is its a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your characters costume and what that might tell about your character. – Jeff Bridges
