Steve Martin: "People ask me why I'm turning from comedy to something I know nothing about. To them I say: 'Come on, guys, you're my band!'"
#1: I'm not getting any younger. I keep waiting for the day when birthdays to start going backward, but so far no luck.
#2: I get to create beauty right there in my hands, in front of my face. Not all the time, not even most of the time, but sometimes I get lucky.
#3: The more I learn the better it gets.
