Steve Martin considers next step in career

KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS
Steve Martin, who's starring in the new "Cheaper by the Dozen," says he can't decide what he wants to do with the rest of his life.
"My career's all over the place now because I had this terrible thing happen to me. I had a hit with 'Bringing Down the House,'" he said. "Everything was so fine. I had time on my hands, and occasionally I'd do a movie, and then suddenly I have a hit and a lot of demands and offers and suddenly your head is kind of reeling about what to do."
What he IS doing is co-writing a "Pink Panther" script.
"I'm looking at the script very seriously and kind of every once in a while in the privacy of my home," he said. "We're actually really, really excited, but I took a long time to decide whether to do it or not. It was only when I started writing ideas down that it started to look like, oh, this could be actually really funny rather than just a rehash of a genius."
