Steve Martin's informative and entertaining autobiography
of his stand-up comedy career.

Steve Martin:

I think I did pretty well, 

considering I started out with nothing 

but a bunch of blank paper. 

Steve Martin:

(Excerpt from "Grandmother's Song"):

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike

Be witty and happy and wise

Be honest and love all your neighbors

Be obsequious, purple and clairvoyant

Steve Martin:

I know a lot of you people are 

sitting out there saying to yourselves, 

"Steve - you're a rambling guy. 

Is it tough for you, traveling from town to town, 

staying in different hotels every night, 

all alone, not with your friends?" 

Well, I've kind of worked that out now, 

I've got a whole new policy. 

Like, I came into New York early this morning, 

bought a house. Met a cute gal, got married. 

We had a little baby, another one on the way. 

Tomorrow: wake up, have a home-cooked meal, 

sell the house, get a divorce, and get on to the next town. 

So, this is what Steve is doing now. 

Steve Martin:

There is one thing I would break up over, 

and that is if she caught me with another woman. 

I won't stand for that. 

Steve Martin:

A day without sunshine is, like, 

you know, ... night.

All the Best,

Dean
