I didn't have any success in show business until I was 30 to 31 years of age.

These women whose antics we smirk at good-naturedly in the pap-traps put themselves out there at least partly on their beauty they are in showbiz, and showing what they've got is part of their business as much as it is for male show-ponies from the Chippendales to George Clooney.

Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world.

Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.

We are involved in a life that passes understanding and our highest business is our daily life.

I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.

I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

I may be kindly, I am ordinarily gentle, but in my line of business I am obliged to will terribly what I will at all.

Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money, and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.
