Steve Martin Rider

I love, LoveLOVE sarcastic old men with their ascerbic wit and dry humor.  The crabbier the better.  The fatherless girl in me loves the shit out this type of man.  i mean i worship them.  God, i love Steve Martin.  He is in my list of hottie older men along with Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Gary Oldman, Jeff Bridges, and a couple others i can't think of right now... i'll update this list later.  But anyway, it doesn't help that he's funny as hell.  He SLAYS ME!


"A day without sunshine is like, you know, night."

"Don't have sex man. It leads to kissing and pretty soon you have to start talking to them."

"Hosting the Oscars is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town."

"I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy. " 

“I believe in eight of the ten commandments; and I believe in going to church every Sunday unless there's a game on.”
