Show me any top entertainer or top business executive, and I'll show you a guy who has mapped out his life from the very start.
I'm in this business, man, and I honestly don't know anything about show business at all. I don't know how it works.
At home, we don't listen to our music-we listen to other people's music. It keeps you attached to the show business world.
I have received more fulfillment and adulation than I would ever know what to do with in terms of show business.
I really sing songs that move me. I'm not in show business. I'm in the communications business. That's what it's for me.
Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society.
The business of peace requires more than showing up with paint brushes, foodstuffs and an oil pipeline or two.
Most of an award-show host's job is showing up and keeping a cool head and soldiering through it, whether it's the Oscars or the Hallmark Channel's 'Hero Dog Awards.'
Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.
The crew loves working on the show, even though we have to work really hard. There's nobody in the show that's difficult. We really have a great group.
Like any show, I think some episodes are going to be stronger than others, but I think it's a good show that people enjoy and I hear the reactions too.
'True Blood' is one of those shows that is so deep and good that you can't have it on in the background. It's one of those shows that you have to dedicate time to.
I've often talked about that, and I've been asked that a couple of times and my feeling are that if you have a good show, a bad host will not even hurt the show.
The people who don't know personal finance have TV shows about it.
Instead of showing strangers kindness and giving them the benefit of the doubt, we increasingly show them only fear, and that is bad for us and them.
'I, Malvolio' is a very, very funny show, a clown show, but there is Beckettian darkness in the character. Some real darkness, some right close to the edge of despair moments.
There is a paranoid streak in American life. Radio talk show hosts tend to foment that paranoid streak in American life.
The songwriter mustn't fall in love with his own song. If it doesn't belong, he can't push it into a show. Let him save it; maybe it'll fit in another show.
When you're making a television show, it's about the story and arc of the show rather than any particular episode or director.
The reality show 'America's Next Top Model' is my girlie pleasure.
Mainly, when I go see a show, unfortunately it's more industrial espionage than it is going to actually enjoy a show.
