Social media requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners. This means taking the long view and avoiding short-term benchmarks to gauge progress. It means allowing the personality, heart and soul of the people who run all levels of the business to show. ~ Gary Vaynerchuk
Show Business quotes by Gary Vaynerchuk
There's no doubt about it, show business lures the people who didn't get enough love, attention, or approval early in life and have grown up to become bottomless, gaping vessels of terrifying, abject need. Please laugh. ~ Dennis Miller
Show Business quotes by Dennis Miller
I could play it safe by recording songs that are familiar, but am I expanding myself as an artist by doing covers? It's a catch-22. It's called show business: The word 'business' is in it, and you've got to be a businessman. But then again, you have to be true to yourself as an artist. ~ Donny Osmond
Show Business quotes by Donny Osmond
I always smoked cigars. I've smoked cigars with everybody in show business. ~ Al Hirt
Show Business quotes by Al Hirt
Show business is - you're there by somebody's fluke. And as long as somebody likes you, and the show is going well, you're fine. I'd do anything. There's so much I want to do. ~ Joan Rivers
Show Business quotes by Joan Rivers
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. ~ Helen Reddy
Show Business quotes by Helen Reddy
If you're in the WWE, it's like show business boot camp. You learn a little bit about everything as far as show business is involved. ~ Chris Jericho
Show Business quotes by Chris Jericho
I love the challenge of show business. It keeps me on my toes. ~ Henry Darrow
Show Business quotes by Henry Darrow
I hope, what I hope the most is to be more successful as a mother than in show business, because to be a mother is the most difficult I will ever have to do. ~ Celine Dion
Show Business quotes by Celine Dion
In show business there's not much point in asking yourself if someone really likes you or if he just thinks you can be useful to him, because there's no difference. ~ Pauline Kael
Show Business quotes by Pauline Kael
If your in business your in show business. The moment you get to work your on stage. Give your performance of your life. ~ Robin Sharma
Show Business quotes by Robin Sharma
I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show. ~ Tyra Banks
Show Business quotes by Tyra Banks
There is a great supply of amateur undertakers in show business. ~ Ethel Waters
Show Business quotes by Ethel Waters
The vagaries of the industry and show business itself would not lead one to conclude a lengthy career - because things change. Popularities come and go. The tragedy of it is that somebody like Robin Williams should suffer from that, and be driven to commit suicide. If ever there was an untimely, unfair death, it was him. ~ Chris Stein
Show Business quotes by Chris Stein
There is no question that everybody who works in show business is lucky because of the number of people who wish they where working in show business. ~ Brent Spiner
Show Business quotes by Brent Spiner
Liverpool really ever since I can remember, but anyway in the '50s and '60s was always a place where people were potentially in show business, knew someone who was, would like to be, had been but were now doing something else and there was a general recreational feeling in the air at all times. ~ Derek Taylor
Show Business quotes by Derek Taylor
My theory has always been that everyone in show business is there because they were deprived of some attention as a child. ~ Ray Romano
Show Business quotes by Ray Romano
I learned everything that I know about comedy and about show business and a lot about life from Carl. ~ Dick Van Dyke
Show Business quotes by Dick Van Dyke
Having spent too many years in show business, the one thing I see that succeeds is persistence. It's the person who just ain't gonna go home. I decided early on that I wasn't going to go home. This is what I'll be doing until they put me in jail or in a coffin. ~ David Mamet
Show Business quotes by David Mamet
In this [show] business you do something rock 'n' roll and then that's it, finished, heads roll. It's best not to take drugs, go to sex dungeons or cause controversy. And those who've done it - Russell Brand, Angus Deayton, whoever - they've really paid for it, even if what they've done is quite trivial. ~ Konnie Huq
Show Business quotes by Konnie Huq
My family's been in show business since the 1700s. I traced them. I'm bred to this. Like a racehorse. A thoroughbred. Look at my parents, my God. But it was my curiosity that made me do this. Because you could also say: "Look at Frank Sinatra Jr." It's not like a natural thing that happens. You gotta work. ~ Liza Minnelli
Show Business quotes by Liza Minnelli
True friendships don't fade in Hollywood, as so many myths about show business would have you insist. ~ Kent McCord
Show Business quotes by Kent McCord
I think probably the most difficult challenge was just the climb and rise in show business because I went through my entire twenties with some success as a comedy writer but not much as a performer. And you have to be kind of informed and naive at the same time. ~ Steve Martin
Show Business quotes by Steve Martin
The Pope's entrance was stunning. Maybe the Catholics know about miracles, and maybe they know about saints, but they've never received enough credit for what they know about show business. ~ George Burns
Show Business quotes by George Burns
Milton Berle is an inspiration to every young person that wants to get into show business. Hard work, perseverance, and discipline: all the things you need ... when you have no talent. ~ Dean Martin
Show Business quotes by Dean Martin
I'm fortunate that I'm employed. And if you're in show business, of course, every night you go to bed and go, oh my god, tomorrow I'll never, ever work again. ~ Rick Mercer
Show Business quotes by Rick Mercer
One thing I can take credit for, along with the rest of show business, is when the red ribbons were out, we cured AIDS. Any advancements that came towards fighting AIDS were not done by scientists or doctors - it was people with little ribbons on their lapels. ~ Gilbert Gottfried
Show Business quotes by Gilbert Gottfried
I'm enjoying everything in my life, but I think the element of surprise in show business is what makes us really love it, because one day you're sitting by the phone waiting to do something or not doing anything, and the next day you've got the chance of a lifetime. Those little phone calls don't come up so often, but when they come up, it's fantastic. ~ Elton John
Show Business quotes by Elton John
I'm an introvert at heart ... And show business - even though I've loved it so much - has always been hard for me. ~ Roy Rogers
Show Business quotes by Roy Rogers
I walked out of the show business in 1968 because I thought that would be good for the family. It took me some time to decide but I wanted to spend more time with my wife and two daughters who were always beside me. I wanted to do everything I could for them. ~ Pete Best
Show Business quotes by Pete Best
I have that working-class show-business blood coursing through my veins. ~ Jenny Lewis
Show Business quotes by Jenny Lewis
Retire? I'm going to stay in show business until I'm the only one left ~ George Burns
Show Business quotes by George Burns
I think maybe one reason why ventriloquists are looked down on is because it's very difficult to be funny. I think what happens is that people get a dummy, they learn the technique of ventriloquism, they memorize the script, they think they're in show business. ~ Jeff Dunham
Show Business quotes by Jeff Dunham
Yeah, there was a six-year period where I was pretty much done with show business. During college and then for about two years after college. ~ Anna Chlumsky
Show Business quotes by Anna Chlumsky
This book is dedicated to every woman who has ever felt self-conscious about her size. Outer beauty comes in all sizes, shapes, heights, ages, and colors. And inner beauty will always shine through, no matter what the packaging. ~ Raynetta Manees
Show Business quotes by Raynetta Manees
In the history of show business, there probably never was a straighter straight man than banana-yellow Bert, the paper clip collector and pigeon fancier. ~ Michael Davis
Show Business quotes by Michael Davis
In Hollywood they say there's no business like show business. In the hood they say there's no business like ho' business. ~ Curtis Jackson
Show Business quotes by Curtis Jackson
I just needed a job. Before being hired as an usher at the CBS Theatre, I didn't even know there was a show business! ~ David Geffen
Show Business quotes by David Geffen
I am constantly asked why I never made other films after 'There's No Business Like Show Business,' the answer is I was never asked. ~ Johnnie Ray
Show Business quotes by Johnnie Ray
I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home. ~ Cat Stevens
Show Business quotes by Cat Stevens
Show business offers more solid promises than Catholicism. ~ John Guare
Show Business quotes by John Guare
If politics is like show business, then the idea is not to pursue excellence, clarity or honesty but to appear as if you are, which is another matter altogether. ~ Neil Postman
Show Business quotes by Neil Postman
My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family. ~ Micky Dolenz
Show Business quotes by Micky Dolenz
Show business is my life. When I was a kid I sold insurance, but nobody laughed. ~ Don Rickles
Show Business quotes by Don Rickles
When you grow up in Chicago, your whole family is counting on you to go to college and do something distinguished. The last thing you're thinking is that you're going to make a career in show business. ~ Harold Ramis
Show Business quotes by Harold Ramis
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment. ~ Walt Disney
Show Business quotes by Walt Disney
I was born and raised to entertain other people. I've heard laughter and applause and known a lot of sorrow. Everything about me is based on show business - I think it will bring me happiness. I hope so. ~ Donald O'Connor
Show Business quotes by Donald O'Connor
A lot of us [comedians] are drawn to the stage or show business or whatever because we didn't feel so great about ourselves, and we didn't know how to do anything about that, so we sought external approval. ~ Barry Crimmins
Show Business quotes by Barry Crimmins
Boxing is show-business with blood. ~ David Belasco
Show Business quotes by David Belasco
Don't thank your parents. If you were raised in a nurturing environment, you wouldn't be in show business. Don't say, 'Wow, this is heavy.' Of course it's heavy. It contains the shattered dreams of four other people. ~ Conan O'Brien
Show Business quotes by Conan O'Brien
I believe that the Laws of Karma do not apply to show business, where good things happen to bad people on a fairly regular basis. ~ Chuck Lorre
Show Business quotes by Chuck Lorre
Show business always tries to stereotype you, so that is something you have to fight against no matter who you are. A lot of actors who are of a minority background complain that they only get stereotyped roles, and they are 100 percent correct. However, it's also true that, no matter who you are, you get typecast as well. ~ Judah Friedlander
Show Business quotes by Judah Friedlander
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. ~ Will Ferrell
Show Business quotes by Will Ferrell
I had been asking the universe and God to send me a way for me to help me. Show business has been so wonderful to me, and it came in the form of that. It's just so funny how things come into your life, and if you take a chance on them, it might give you a brand new life. ~ Louie Anderson
Show Business quotes by Louie Anderson
I felt that I didn't want to be in show business anymore. I felt that I wanted to be a farmer. I was milking cows and shoveling terrible stuff and working all day. By the end of the day, all I wanted was my tap shoes - I thought, 'What am I doing? I better get back where I belong on the stage where we work at night and can sleep late! ~ Gregory Hines
Show Business quotes by Gregory Hines
I was brought up to do my duty. Not to be vain, not to shout from the rooftops about my virtues - to be modest and well-behaved. I'm totally wrong for show business. ~ Terry Wogan
Show Business quotes by Terry Wogan
I was never one to seek out the spotlight. I am kind of a private person, so I don't miss that part of show business at all. ~ Angela Cartwright
Show Business quotes by Angela Cartwright
You've got to know business before you go to show business. ~ Patti LaBelle
Show Business quotes by Patti LaBelle
I don't like people who are in politics for themselves and not for others. You want that, you can go into show business. ~ Elvis Presley
Show Business quotes by Elvis Presley
I have a bad gambling problem. You're not in show business for 12 years and dress like this without a bad gambling problem. ~ Artie Lange
Show Business quotes by Artie Lange
I didn't think before that I'd done enough to justify publishing an autobiography but after 40 years in show business I'm now ready to tell my story. ~ Cilla Black
Show Business quotes by Cilla Black
Show business is dog eat dog. It's worse than dog eat dog. It's dog doesn't return dog's phone calls. ~ Woody Allen
Show Business quotes by Woody Allen
There are people who believe once somebody gets you a job in show business you are set and the truth is you have to fight for every job. People opened the doors for me for sure and hopefully I've helped open the door for some people but when you're there it's on you and you better be ready for it. ~ Tom Arnold
Show Business quotes by Tom Arnold
Going to New York to do whatever - show business - it just seemed fun. It seemed fun to go to the big city and meet all kinds of different people and maybe be famous. It was just exciting. So I wasn't scared. ~ January Jones
Show Business quotes by January Jones
Ask Mother for advice on breaking into show business. ~ Jack Davenport
Show Business quotes by Jack Davenport
I had loved magic tricks from the time I was six or seven. I bought books on magic. I did magic acts for my parents and their friends. I was aiming for show business from early days, and magic was the poor man's way of getting in: you buy a trick for $2, and you've got an act. ~ Steve Martin
Show Business quotes by Steve Martin
I didn't have any success in show business until I was 30 to 31 years of age. ~ Adam Carolla
Show Business quotes by Adam Carolla
My wife, as proud as she was of me, hated show business for good reasons. There was something about the spouse always being pushed out of the way, shoved aside. She wanted to get away from it. ~ Dick Van Dyke
Show Business quotes by Dick Van Dyke
I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business. ~ Betty White
Show Business quotes by Betty White
I am not a member of the chamber of commerce for show business, believe me, but there are some really good people in the business, and [Tom] Hanks has this everyman decency onscreen, but he actually is that guy. ~ Kurt Fuller
Show Business quotes by Kurt Fuller
I'm in the entertainment business, where you're only as good as your last show. ~ Matthew Weiner
Show Business quotes by Matthew Weiner
In what other business can a guy my age drink martinis, smoke cigars and sing? I think all people who retire ought to go into show business. I've been retired all my life. ~ George Burns
Show Business quotes by George Burns
I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies. ~ Christopher Walken
Show Business quotes by Christopher Walken
When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was. ~ Steve Martin
Show Business quotes by Steve Martin
I'd rather be a flop at show business than to be a success at something I didn't like. ~ George Burns
Show Business quotes by George Burns
I like being from a city that is not entrenched in show business. When you're in New York City or Los Angeles, even if you're not dealing with show business, there's still this sense that it's the center of the universe. ~ Ed Helms
Show Business quotes by Ed Helms
I read that Monica Seles got stabbed. And although I have nothing against Monica Seles, I'm glad somebody in sports got stabbed. I like the idea of it; it's good entertainment. If we're lucky, it'll spread through sports. And show business, too! Wouldn't you like to see a guy jump up on stage and stab some famous singer? Especially a real shitty pop singer? Maybe they'll even start stabbing comedians. Fuck it, I'm ready! I never perform without my can of mace. I have a switchblade knife, too. I'll cut your eye out and go right on telling jokes. ~ George Carlin
Show Business quotes by George Carlin
I wanted to be a model; I wanted to be a nurse; I wanted to be so many things, almost anything but being part of show business. ~ Shirley Bassey
Show Business quotes by Shirley Bassey
There's this big pie in show business, and you physically can't eat the whole pie. If you give everybody a slice of pie, you will still have more than enough. The real trick is not to try to get the whole pie, but to keep the biggest slice. ~ Jay Leno
Show Business quotes by Jay Leno
Its called show business, not show art. ~ Jean Seberg
Show Business quotes by Jean Seberg
I come from a show-business family, so wanting to become an actor never crossed my mind. It was just a part of my life. ~ Christopher Walken
Show Business quotes by Christopher Walken
Just because you're working does not mean you're making money. That's two very different things in show business. ~ Billy Porter
Show Business quotes by Billy Porter
People don't realize that we, we meaning people in show business, have the same problems as everyone else. Money doesn't change that. Fame doesn't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a different kind of problems. ~ Dolly Parton
Show Business quotes by Dolly Parton
I try to please people, to give them a good time, but I refuse to make my act conform to traditional show-biz standards of entertainment. There's a little voice that says, 'Oh, no, you can't do that, that's breaking all the rules.' That's the voice of show business. Then this other little voice says, 'Try it.' And most of the time, when the voice comes on and says, 'No,' that's the time it works. ~ Andy Kaufman
Show Business quotes by Andy Kaufman
Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they're very bright. But there's a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy. ~ Anna Chlumsky
Show Business quotes by Anna Chlumsky
There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy. ~ Sally Field
Show Business quotes by Sally Field
I keep my kids out of the whole business entirely. Allegra and Lucas are five and six and I'm not interested in them doing any acting at all. I don't want my kids in show business. I keep them as far away from my work as possible. ~ John Leguizamo
Show Business quotes by John Leguizamo
I'm always interested in the unexpected and know that things, especially in show business, but in life generally, are inevitably fleeting to one extent. ~ Jeff Goldblum
Show Business quotes by Jeff Goldblum
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn. ~ Joss Whedon
Show Business quotes by Joss Whedon
I think I'm lucky having parents that have been in show business for a while, and they don't care about the shiny stuff so much. They raised me in that way - to stay grounded, not to chase the shiny, pretty things. ~ Zoe Kravitz
Show Business quotes by Zoe Kravitz
Show business got really tainted for me. ~ Anna Chlumsky
Show Business quotes by Anna Chlumsky
As important as it is to learn the techniques of cinematography, you also have to learn how to deal with the movie set, with show business. I came up with a cinematographer who is very talented, but she was never quite able to handle everything else you have to do - dealing with the producer and the crew and the time frame that you have to follow. ~ Maryse Alberti
Show Business quotes by Maryse Alberti
My mother did play classical piano, not that well. And actually, my father sang with the big bands - he sang with Bob Crosby's band - but he had to give up show business when his father died. He had to come back to Montgomery and take over the furniture store. ~ Toni Tennille
Show Business quotes by Toni Tennille
L.A. can be pretty insane because there's so much show business here, but I also know a lot of kids who grew up in Manhattan who are some of the most normal, nicest people I know. Casting directors always say Chicago people are just nicer. ~ Matt Walsh
Show Business quotes by Matt Walsh
I knew real show business from my father, who had been an actor since he left the world of boxing. ~ James Earl Jones
Show Business quotes by James Earl Jones
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity. ~ Boy George
Show Business quotes by Boy George
I must be the only person of my age who doesn't have a bloody gong. They are so common in show business. ~ Janet Street-Porter
Show Business quotes by Janet Street-Porter
Show business is like riding a bicycle - when you fall off, the best thing to do is get up, brush yourself off and get back on again. ~ Gilda Radner
Show Business quotes by Gilda Radner
I taught myself computer. Then Macintosh came along, and it became a really bad addiction. If I wasn't in show business, I'd have pocket protectors growing out of my chest. I do everything on it. It's kinda sick. ~ Jeff Dunham
Show Business quotes by Jeff Dunham
Spontaneity is such an entertaining facet of show business. ~ Chuck Barris
Show Business quotes by Chuck Barris
