It's too much show business and too much prompting, too much artificiality, and not really debates. They're rehearsed appearances.

George H. W. Bush

Okay, if this is what falling in love feels like, someone please kill me now. (Not literally, overzealous readers.) But it was all too much - too much emotion, too much happiness, too much longing, perhaps too much ice cream.

James Patterson

There is no business like show business, Irving Berlin once proclaimed, and thirty years ago he may have been right, but not anymore. Nowadays almost every business is like show business, including politics, which has become more like show business than show business is.

Russell Baker

What is much harder to handle is the sense that you have to live up to the mark someone else has set for you. The grades become too important, the competition too frantic, the fear of disappointing those who believe in you turns into an overwhelming nightmare.

Sydney J. Harris

On the whole, show business is a hard business in which to be married.

As a designer and someone that likes getting my hands dirty, it's hard. It's a competition. I can't give too much away. One thing I could do was offer encouraging words.

David Bromstad

In show business the saying seems too often true: it isn't enough to succeed; someone else must fail.

Gene Tierney

Hosting a show, even a talk show or a game show, there's so much business you have to conduct. There's so much guiding you have to do.

Patsy Kensit

I'm much more aware of how distraught my father could be internally. That was normal to me - the obsession with work, the crazy hours - and when I watch it on screen I really see how enveloped he was by show business to the point where he didn't develop much of another life. Everything was show business to him.

Nicole Fosse

There's a lot of women out there, some of whom are my age who've never been married and some who have been married and would like to be married again but think their ship has sailed, and I'm like, 'Oh no, honey, let Miss Niecy show you it is never too late for love!'

Niecy Nash

The challenge for a director - and I think a lot of directors feel the same way - is that today we have to put on a producer's hat, too. Meaning, you have to sometimes think of it being 'business show,' not just 'show business.'

Antoine Fuqua

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

I was always in show business but in many ways was not really of show business. I didn't move in show business circles, particularly, still don't do it.

Dick Van Dyke

We have been told many times that we have become too big, but these are things that only someone who has no idea of the size of the competition can say. We are too small.

John Elkann
