Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society.
...teaching is, after all, a form of show business.
You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.
All I wanted was to be big, to be in show business and to travel... and that's what I've been doing all my life.
I understand that show business people can wear the public a bit thin when it comes to politics. I know they wear me thin.
I learned everything that I know about comedy and about show business and a lot about life from Carl.
I still have to work paycheck to paycheck. Being in show business doesn't indicate that you're a 'success,' in my opinion.
I didn't learn fire-eating to conquer my fears. I learned fire-eating because I desperately wanted to be in show business.
I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.
I think it's one of the main negative emotional ingredients that fuels show business, because there's so much at stake and the fear of failure looms large.
I couldn't do anything. I'd work in a department store for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't hack it. I couldn't even type! I had no skills whatsoever outside of show business.

Now, there is no business like show business, and there is no publicity like word of mouth. What is word of mouth, you may ask? Well, word of mouth is gold to Hollywood bigwigs, and it equates to box office bonanzas and hit TV shows.

I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.
By the time I was ready for college, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I think I secretly wanted a show business career, but I was suppressing it.
Well, we're in show business, and I have been making a living in this business a long time and inevitably it means taking what it is that you've done and hopefully you're showing it to a lot of people who like it.
