So far as the colleges go, the side-shows have swallowed up the circus, and we don't know what is going on in the main tent: and I don't want to continue as ringmaster under those conditions.

So far as the colleges go, the sideshows are swallowing up the circus.

Woodrow Wilson

I was born and raised in New York and I'm of an age where I want to just be home. But, you know, when you sign up to be an actor it's like joining the circus and the circus is not always going to be in your hometown.

Dean Winters

A director is the ringmaster of a circus that's inventing itself.

Francis Ford Coppola

When I was a kid, I worked in the circus. It was a touring circus that was owned by a man named Terrell Jacobs. It was just one big tent, and he was a lion tamer. He didn't have any kids, but the bit was that I would dress up as his son in an identical outfit.

Christopher Walken

I went to a tent store. "What kind of tent do you need?" "Circus."

Mitch Hedberg

As far as I know, I'm not going to the jungle anytime soon. Unless it's one of those shows where you don't know you're going to be on it and they just kidnap you for one night.

Bridget Marquardt

He used to have a tent show, a little tent show, and I thought I was going to get a job working one year on the tent show, but he closed it down and I never got to go out there, but anyway, he had a sax and played drums.

Earl Scruggs

Those powers that control the tent are not threatened at all by any activity that you engage in, in the shadows, that's not moving toward the tent. And I am rather convinced that we have a generation that is so preoccupied with life in the shadows, they never even focus on getting to the sunlight where you open up the big tent.

Jesse Jackson

But the soul of touring and the heart of it is basically every day is like putting up a circus tent.

Pat Benatar

As far as the live shows go, we're not leapfrogging all the smaller venues. We would have bypassed these kind of shows and gone straight to the Arena shows, but we didn't want to.

Dan Hawkins

I never doubted my talent. If talent was the circus, then I was its ringmaster and audience, applauding its every move.

Philip Schultz

Growing up I didn't want to be an actor. I sort of didn't want to go into the family business; the main reason being there was something I wanted to do far more, which was be an artist.

John Lithgow

Private equity capital in each of those markets Europe and Asia - while those markets have very different characteristics - fills a niche where either strategic investors or the public markets don't go, or don't want to go for some particular reason. I think that's going to continue to be the case going forward.

David Bonderman

I went camping and borrowed a circus tent by mistake. I didn't notice until I got it set up. People complained because they couldn't see the lake.

Steven Wright

You know there's an old african proverb that i made up: "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Al Gore

I always used to sit next to Mel Blanc when we'd do the shows. When you have Jack Benny on one side and Mel Blanc on the other, you're not going to go far wrong.

Harry Shearer
