I've never invested myself properly in trying to write stories. When I write lyrics, mostly I write each sentence separately on an index card and then I lay them out and I just mix them up.
There's all these ways to instantly communicate - cars, computers, telephone and transportation - and even with all that, it's so hard to find people and have an honest communication with them
I believe in not over thinking things too much. When the right thing comes along, you really don’t have a choice.
In a city where you walk around, it's impossible to plan your day and your life as accidents will happen, you'll overhear things, bump into people, and take unexpected turns
Whereas Jeremy is just the opposite: always moving because he's never really thinking of anything and the kind of guy you'd worry inviting to a dinner party because he says what he thinks. He can be insulting at times but doesn't mean to be.
I was heartbroken at the end of that, because I thought that was going to be it for me. Somehow I had worked my way into this movie and it had exposed me to people and I had a chance to be an actor, which I loved, but I didn't think it was ever going to happen again.
He just nailed it, ... I don't know how he nailed it; that's why he's Steve Martin ... he's a scientist of the heart, or something.
I thought it would be good for me to do something bigger, more bombastic, more physical. I had a blast making the film.
And since we were kids in the 80's my parents could only take us to see comedies, and basically Martin was the star of the majority of those films.
