I've always learned in show business: you take the job.

There's no job in show business that's harder than any other job outside show business.
I learned to take the first job that you have in the business that you want to get into. It doesn't matter what that job is, you get your foot in the door.
The things I really learned, I learned from watching my parents. They take care of business. Always have.
The big thing I learned from Chris Rock was not to be a victim of show business. Don't let show business push you around.
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.
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.
I had always wanted a steady job in this business, a show that lasted.
I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.
The most important thing I learned from Dad about show business was never take myself seriously and never stop having fun with my craft.
I learned that a television show is not a collaboration. You give your 180 percent, but you do not question the show-runners. I remember doing a reading, and my part was kind of small that week, and I commented on it, and the next week, they cut me out of the show. So I learned that you never ask questions. In TV, you always assume you're going to be fired.
My theory has always been, if you take care of your business today, take care of the job you have at hand, whatever else comes down the road will be there for you.
I've done about everything in show business except to play on Broadway. I always hoped that I would one day. It's the World Series of show business. If anybody tells you they're not intimidated, they're lying.
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.
What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? It takes willingness to learn, to be able to focus, to absorb information, and to always realize that business is a 24/7 job where someone is always out there to kick your ass.
