Top 98 Martin Show Sayings
#1. Frankie Randall is a consummate performer. He is an exquisite jazz pianist and wonderful singer. I had the great pleasure to work with him on the Dean Martin Show and I'm very proud to call him a friend!
Lainie Kazan
#2. I needed a distraction. A drink, a good tumble, anything - even this sure-to-be- trouble punk show.
Alexandra Martin
#4. Enjoy your popcorn and enjoy the show. It's just a movie, so have fun!
Martin Lawrence
#5. Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity.
Ricky Martin
#6. 'Game of Thrones' is the broadest of narratives. I don't know if anyone in the U.S. has done a story on such a large scale before, both in terms of what George R.R. Martin wrote and what's on the show.
Alex Graves
#7. Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.
Donal Logue
#8. Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.
Martin Luther King Jr.
#9. I always watch Dean Martin's show ... just to see if he falls down.
James Stewart

George R R Martin
#12. I could just hear my mom now, You know those old candy cigarettes are bad for you. Next thing you know, you'll be drinking alcohol, and they'll find you dead in a ditch somewhere. I'll never be able to show my face in this town again.
K. Martin Beckner
#13. I canceled a show once to be with someone that I loved.
Ricky Martin
#14. I call it 'new forms'. When you're starting out, they ask you to do four or five minute sets, but once you're a headliner, you do like 90 minutes. I try to think of different things to divvy up the show, like doing drawings, playing music ... I gotta carry the show, that's the problem.
Demetri Martin
#15. Her eyes were a rich dark brown that were so deep, they reminded me of my sleepless nights, awake, staring into complete darkness. I felt compelled to look deeper, searching for something inside her, but her soul was covered and her eyes would not show me.
Cristina Martin
#16. Ethel Merman would stay with a show for years and tour with it. So would Mary Martin, the great stars. They recognized the value of that success and nurtured it. Now, you come from Hollywood, you play 12 weeks and go away. I don't think that's the best policy.
Harold Prince
#17. I want to show everyone that if you pursue your dreams, they can come true no matter what. That's what I want to do.
Martin Garrix
#18. The cat who wants his bowl of cream must know when to purr and when to show his claws - Ser Kyle, the Cat of Misty Moor
George R R Martin

Steve Martin
#20. The truly essential bargain between host and guest requires the guest only to respond promptly, show up on time, socialize with other guests, thank the host, write additional thanks and reciprocate. You needn't bring anything.
Judith Martin

Judith Martin
#22. I think statues are great; they show what great people would look like if a bird sh*t all over them.
Demetri Martin
#23. You lie," he said. "All men lie when they are afraid. Some tell many lies, some but a few. Some have only one great lie they tell so often that they almost come to believe it ... though some small part of them will always know that it is still a lie, and that will show upon their faces.
George R R Martin
#24. I just started doing this one-man show, and I wanted to be able to score it, so I bought a guitar, and got a keyboard and got a harmonica. I remember when I started that I didn't understand why a harmonica had different letters on them.
Demetri Martin
#25. Anything can change in show business; you know how it goes, everything changes from one day to the other.
Ricky Martin
#26. I don't show a lot of things. I don't know if that's good or bad.
Lex Martin
#27. It's great having Bruce Springsteen on my show. We have so much in common! We're both from New Jersey, just from different neighborhoods. Sort of like how Martin Luther King and Margaret Mitchell both came from Atlanta. But from different neighborhoods.
Jon Stewart
#28. What is it to serve God and to do His will? Nothing else than to show mercy to our neighbor. For it is our own neighbor who needs our service; God in heaven needs it not.
Martin Luther
#29. Before I came out, I had a lot of anger. For years people would ask, 'How are you doing?' and I'd say, 'Good, fine.' It's show business, and that's what you have to show.
Ricky Martin
#31. ...teaching is, after all, a form of show business.
Steve Martin
#32. What you have when everyone wears the same playclothes for all occasions, is addressed by nickname, expected to participate in Show And Tell, and bullied out of any desire form privacy, is not democracy; it is kindergarten.
Judith Martin
#33. We have a fair on our farm every year - a gymkhana and a dog show and a funfair and a heavy-horse show. It was my idea. Be careful what you wish for - it's a monster.
Martin Clunes
#34. Martin Scorsese was being given an honorary doctorate, and one of the tutors asked if there was a student film he particularly liked. He mentioned our film. There was a dinner after the final show just for the tutors, but I was smuggled in to meet Scorsese over dessert.
Asif Kapadia
#35. The writer of 'The Red Road,' Aaron Guzikowski, deserves the credit. The fact that the dialogue is so understated is what makes this show so appealing, especially as an actor.
Martin Henderson
#36. I just wanted to be in show business. I didn't care if I was going to be an actor or a magician or what. Comedy was a point of the least resistance, really. And on the simplest level, I loved comedy.
Steve Martin
#37. I love The West Wing for many reasons. The show has been a fantasy. But we have offered a parallel universe to reality.
Martin Sheen
#38. I knew I wanted to be in show business so I took the path of least resistance. I loved comedy. But you never know you are funny until people laugh. It's just what I was interested in. I could make people laugh, I guess, but doing it at school and doing it onstage are very different things.
Steve Martin
#39. Enjoyment while performing was rare - enjoyment would have been an indulgent loss of focus that comedy cannot afford. After the shows, however, I experienced long hours of elation or misery depending on how the show went, because doing comedy alone onstage is the ego's last stand.
Steve Martin
#40. If you happen to catch on fire during the show, do not panic or wave your arms around or scream or we wil give something to panic and wave you arms around and scream about.
Demetri Martin
#41. The show is good, but the books are better.
(The books are always better)
George R R Martin
#42. My life has never been defined as Roland Martin, CNN; Roland Martin, TVOne; or Roland Martin, 'Tom Joyner Morning Show.' I'm appreciative of all of those platforms, but I've done all different things. I'm still Roland Martin.
Roland Martin
#43. My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
Martin Milner
#44. We host some trips all over the world. We go to Alaska. We go to Mexico. We're going to Venezuela in December. We've been to Russia, all in conjunction with the radio show.
Martin Milner
#45. Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.
Peter Gallagher
#46. A friend of mine once asked how to make it in show business and I said "Be so good that they can't ignore you." She thought I was being flip but it's true. The challenge is trying to live up to the opportunities given me.
Steve Martin
#47. Milton Berle is an inspiration to every young person that wants to get into show business. Hard work, perseverance, and discipline: all the things you need ... when you have no talent.
Dean Martin
#48. Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man's life and work go on after his 'death,' whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not. There is no such thing as death according to our view!
Martin Bormann
#49. I never thought about success. I always thought about doing the job at hand. My goal was getting through the show that night.
Steve Martin
#50. The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.
Martin Luther
#51. On the show, we are not trying to get people to eat their vegetables; we are not trying to get people to become Democrats. We are basically trying to encourage people to get involved with public life so that politics isn't left to the wealthy and privileged.
Martin Sheen
#52. Find a man who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
Who calls you back when you hang up on him,
Who will ... stay awake just to watch you sleep...
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats.
Colin Martin
#53. I never thought much about success early on. I only thought about being a comedian - or just being in show business, is really more accurate.
Steve Martin
#54. I think probably the most difficult challenge was just the climb and rise in show business because I went through my entire twenties with some success as a comedy writer but not much as a performer. And you have to be kind of informed and naive at the same time.
Steve Martin
#55. I learned a lot. I knew I had a lot to learn because it's been so long, but that sure did show up there today.
Mark Martin
#56. We created a show and a scenario for college students where they can take what they learn in class every day and apply it to the real world.
Ross Martin
#57. 'Sherlock' is beautifully done, if I may say so myself. Even if I wasn't in it, I would like the show.
Martin Freeman
#59. It matters little which party has gotten lazy about delivering what their partner craves. It doesn't take too many days or weeks for an unsatisfied partner to start to feel love-starved and sadly unfulfilled. If you want great sex in the bedroom, show love to each other outside the bedroom.
Cathy Burnham Martin
#60. Presents are symbolic. When you give them in your personal life, they should show that you are paying attention to the person to whom you're giving them.
Judith Martin
#62. I was always a show girl. My parents were wonderful. There wasn't a lot going on where we lived, but they ferried me to classes and competitions all over the place. When I was 12, I came to London as a finalist in a singing competition and I was completely wide-eyed.
Anna Maxwell Martin
#63. Sometimes I feel like I'm being watched, but then I remember that my show was canceled three years ago.
Demetri Martin
#64. If you are trying to impress a woman, leave any sort of show farting out of the equation.
Demetri Martin
#65. The key word about The West Wing is show. It is not a reality show. It has nothing to do with reality.
Martin Sheen
#66. But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.
Demetri Martin
#67. We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality.
Martin Parr
#68. It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.
Steve Martin
#69. Egg has the truth of it. Aerion's quite the monster. He thinks he's a dragon in human form, you know. That's why he was so wroth at that puppet show. A pity he wasn't born a Fossoway, then he'd think himself an apple and we'd all be a deal safer, but there you are.
George R R Martin
#70. everything from Hairspray to the Academy Awards. They were also my co-conspirators on my 2006 Broadway show, Fame
Martin Short
#71. Magic is the oldest part of the show business profession. It can now be used as a forward-thinking tool to build a child's confidence. It has been an amazing part in many entertainers' lives, including Steve Martin and the late Johnny Carson.
Criss Angel
#72. The Irish tell the story of a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in St. Peter says, "Of course, just show us your scars." The man says, "I have no scars". St. Peter says, "What a pity was there nothing worth fighting for"?

#74. You don't have to show people how successful you are.
Martin Yan
#75. The least I can do is show Medgar I still care. And Martin.
Charles Evers
#76. Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality. In the cookery pages, the food always looks amazing, right? Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.
Martin Parr
#77. I grew up with four T.V. channels. If you missed a show, you missed it. You gotta wait a week for the next one. I'd mail-order books: take a quarter, get an envelope, send off for it and wait until it arrived. I grew up waiting for things.
George R R Martin
#78. I just try to get along with people and show the love that I would like to be shown to me.
Martin Lawrence

Trish Stratus
#80. Show me where a man spends his time & money, and I'll show you his god.
Martin Luther
#81. I've been killing characters my entire career, maybe I'm just a bloody minded bastard, I don't know, [but] when my characters are in danger, I want you to be afraid to turn the page (and to do that) you need to show right from the beginning that you're playing for keeps.
George R R Martin
#82. I had loved magic tricks from the time I was six or seven. I bought books on magic. I did magic acts for my parents and their friends. I was aiming for show business from early days, and magic was the poor man's way of getting in: you buy a trick for $2, and you've got an act.
Steve Martin
#83. Not that I'm some rocker, but what I do in a show is probably far more aggressive than what Dean Martin or Bobby Darin ever did.
Michael Buble
#84. When people show me pictures of their kids, it's okay. But when I give them a picture of me, to show to their kids, I'm weird. What kind of one way street is that?
Demetri Martin
#85. I wanted to show that Martin Luther King was simply a human being, not a god, not a saint.
Ralph Abernathy
#86. In my banjo show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, I do do comedy during that show. It'd be absurd just to stand there mute and play 25 banjo songs.
Steve Martin
#87. I tend to get starstruck with sports people. I was on a chat show with retired Scottish footballer Denis Law and I just lost it and couldn't talk to him.
Martin Shaw
#88. It turns out dentists don't like it very much when you show up for a cleaning in full vampire gear.
Demetri Martin
#89. In a way, making Martin Ellingham the way he is was a corrective exercise for my acting - to keep a bit still and show a little control. I do like it - it's like having an instrument that you can play and that you can pick up and enjoy playing.
Martin Clunes
#90. I opened the show with this line: I have decided to give the greatest performance of my life! Oh, wait, sorry, that's tomorrow night.
Steve Martin
#91. To my mind there are not enough things that show the Nazis as human, as smart people, charismatic people, who are not inhuman naturally. But who are able to be fantastically inhuman when they choose to be.
Martin Freeman
#92. If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or song, if I can show somebody he's traveling wrong, then my living will not be in vain.
Martin Luther King Jr.
#93. I want to play Martin Luther King. I want to tell the real story, his demons, his struggles as a man, not just as a hero but fallible, I want to show that side.
Columbus Short
#94. When I was 9 years old, I really wanted to be in the show business. I really wanted to be an artist. I would grab a wooden spoon and I would start singing, even if it was for my uncles and my aunts. And I would just sing any lah-lah song.
Ricky Martin
#95. I remember when I was in college, I used to watch Julia Child's cooking show during dinner and joke with my roommates about becoming a TV chef.
Martin Yan
#96. Show business is just like high school, except you get paid.
Martin Mull
#97. I care about politics, but I have a tough time making comedy out of it. I was so happy to have a chance to be on The Daily Show, and I think Jon Stewart's so funny ... but mostly in my own comedy, I care about less relevant things.
Demetri Martin
#98. Fatherhood means a great deal to me. I love it. To me, there aint nothing better, because your kids keep it real with you. When you think things are bad, you look at them and they show you how things could be all right, and it's all worth it.
Martin Lawrence
