	Interview - Steve Martin for "The Pink Panther"
		Steve Martin is as iconic an actor one can meet.
		Martin: Well, we didn't know if I was going to wear a moustache, we were just in the sort of costume department trying on clothes and different ideas, and my makeup man came over with a pencil and he went - umhmumhmumhm - and he drew it on, and I thought, oh...
		Martin: So it's not officially a remake, because a remake to me is when you use the same script or the same story.

	What's funny about Twain prize winner Steve Martin? Everything
		At another, far more visible table (Martin's, by design, is snugged in the corner, blocked largely from view by a colonnade of some sort) is the famous face of a man who knows the meaning of adoration, who sold affability and aplomb as a product for decades.
		What Martin settled on was something that could be called The Deluded Man. It's a kind of postmodernism, a figure so steeped in showbiz realities and traditions that he just doesn't realize what he's doing isn't funny.
		Martin probably remembered Marshall that afternoon, as he joked he would; and maybe he wished he'd said a word or two to the retired old "Hollywood Squares" host.

		Martin's thus inflamed need to please and be loved must surely have fuelled his early career, if not all of it.
		Martin, on the other hand, with his banjo and balloons, was playing on childlike innocence and illogic.
		This saw Steve as Gil Buckman, married to the wonderful Mary Steenburgen and trying to make the best of a dysfunctional family, including a fear-paralysed son, a dominating father (Jason Robards), a wastrel brother (Tom Hulce), an education-obsessed brother (Rick Moranis) and a sister (Dianne Wiest) who can't stop her daughter seeing Keanu Reeves.

		Martin's first novel is finally neither a triumph nor a disaster: it's yet another of this intelligent performer's attempts to expand his range, and those who will buy it for the name on the cover could do a lot worse.
		Steve Martin has an uncanny knack for getting into the mind of Mirabelle, his "Shopgirl." Honestly, if you didn't know he was the author, you'd think this book was written by a woman.
		Steve Martin has a very subtle, and nuanced writing style which he brings to the story, the story is presented in a not quite fully formed way, an air of mystery that hints at the motives of Ray Porter, in picking this naïve and depressed girl as a romantic partner.

		Martin's early LPs and stage performances were genuinely hilarious, but even the funniest bits, like the one in which he describes giving his cat a bath (with his tongue) or in which he has an entire audience repeat the "Non-Conformist Oath" ("I promise to be unique.
		Following Vietnam, Watergate and the racial and civil unrest of the '60s and early '70s, folks needed a break from all the drama and heartache, and Martin's goofy, apolitical humor was a perfect match.
		There were some "blue" bits in Martin's material, but not as many as in the work of, say, Rodney Dangerfield or a later comic like Sam Kinison.

	The Believer - Interview with Steve Martin
		His first piece, a satire of middlebrow art world pretensions in which the narrator claims to own a birdbath sculpted by Raphael, reminded us of what we already kind of knew: that Steve Martin is a serious person who conveys his seriousness by sending it up.
		Martin is nothing if not the embodiment of the fusion of high and low; a wacky, broadly comedic entertainer who cleans up astonishingly well.
		Martin’s screenplays for The Jerk, Roxanne, and L.A. Story led him to begin writing stage plays, which include The Underpants and Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
