Turned on the tube this weekend and caught some of the Charlie Rose show on PBS.
Steve Martin was on.
I think he’s a brilliant dude.
I always admire someone who can do a lot of things very well (comedian –> actor —> writer) and evolves with their interests.
I was particularly struck by one thing he said.
He was sharing his response to people who ask him how to break into show business/become successful.
His response:
"Be so good that they cannot ignore you."
Simple.
And true.
On the topic of all the things he can do well, he’s also got a Grammy award for playing the banjo. He’s certainly a multi-talented man.
Hi Bonni.
Great point.
I think he mentioned that he didn’t take up playing until he was an adult, either…
thanks for writing,
