Steve Martin: No time for standup

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on October 31st, 2007

Pumping the upcoming Pink Panther sequel and his recent kid’s book (which he co-wrote), Steve Martin is quoted on ContactMusic.com:

It really requires a complete dedication; you can’t just go out for a month, you have to go out for 11 months. You have to do it every night to stay fresh and hot. Whenever I would do (American TV’s) The Tonight Show I would always work the night before because I found that if I didn’t, I would be that less sharp, even after one day off.
