In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

Show me a person who has nothing to hide, and I'll show you a person who is either exceedingly dull - or a complete exhibitionist

Going to my shows, it's like a religious experience, because you come out, you go in one person, you come out a different person.

A lot of women have come to understand that you can't just show up and say I'm unhappy, you have to then go out and do something.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too. If she doesn’t show up invited, eventually she just shows up

I do an improv show on Sunday where we have a class, and then afterwards we go and do a live performance in front of an audience.

I get recognised a fair bit. It goes up when Peep Show or the sketch show is on the telly or when were doing loads of interviews.

It is extremely difficult to do anything constructive, let alone deep, on daily commercial television, especially on a talk show.

We can stop pleading with God to show us the future, and start living and obeying like we are confident that He holds the future.

Every film takes on its own life. I find it very interesting to show an audience some part of history that maybe they don't know.

I'm on a show called Wizards of Wavery Place, and I like it, but I'm unable to convince my Tivo that I wouldn't also like iCarly.

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now.

I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.

I like televangelism shows. I find it entertaining sometimes to see how a young person would deliver the word versus a old person.

I am really good about compartmentalizing and treating my family as one thing and the show or whatever my job as a secondary thing.

Not every show has to work equally well. It just has to work better than any competitor because then we can outbid for the content.

There are times in show business when you work so much you think you will pop your cork, and then suddenly you can't find any work.

If I'm doing a talk show or an interview, or pretty much anything where I can't control the context, I'm loath to do the character.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

You can make the best show in the world, but if people don't actually turn it on and see it, they'll never know it's the best show.

There is something mighty suspicious about declaring an emergency for something that has yet to show itself to be a grand pandemic.

I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.

All I did was tell the truth. That's is what the whole show is about! And if Politically Incorrect has to go down for it, so be it!

When Oprah Winfrey tells you that you need to have your own show, you feel compelled to do it. Especially if she's gonna pay for it!

There is no business like show business. There is also no business like certified public accounting, but that doesn't rhyme as well.

It's not terrible, I guess, but if Ricky Gervais was half as talented as me, maybe the show would actually be funny once in a while.

Well, I don't think characters change. I think they become more revealed. I don't think you really can change a character on a show.

I've always got the road. Stand-up makes you so autonomous and self-sufficient that it really helps with that part of show business.

To teach is to show. You can't teach what you don't know. You can't guide where you don't go. And you can't grow what you don't sow.

I am not a person who pursues luxury. I am not like those people who, once they have money, compulsively squander it or show it off.

Turn to yourselves rather than to your Gods or to your idols. Find what hides in yourselves; bring it to the light; show yourselves!

I really loved when I started doing '70s Show,' though I had never acted before, so it was a great training ground being on a sitcom.

I was sad the show [Payne] only lasted one season. It was a big undertaking. It'd be fun to revisit, but it'll probably never happen.

Our originality shows itself most strikingly not in what we wholly originate but in what we do with that which we borrow from others.

I wondered where he was now whether I would ever hear him again. Whether someone would love him, someday show him what beauty mean't.

A lot of people say the sitcom is dead. I think they're right to some extent, in that the shows they're putting out are all the same.

Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.

It's one of the old show business axioms. No matter how successful you've been, there's always a younger and sexier seal coming along.

I've started to show the consistency in majors I had in regular tournaments back in 1998-2000 when I was contending nearly every week.

The form came out of the function because it is for the audience that already knows the show, while hoping to get a new audience, too.

If I switch showrunners and I get to stay on the show, I approach it like it's their show, and I'm here to write their music for them.

I wanted to work on a cable show and with a writer/director because that's a much more fulfilling and freeing experience, as an actor.

As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them.

After a geological epoch passed in which single-celled organisms evolved into talk show hosts, Mr. Coffee was still holding out on me.

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.

Gratitude is present when you see that everything that occurs in your life can be used to show you how to live fully as a human being.

It's good to keep changing your mind. It shows you're thinking. I'll only stop changing my mind when I'm dead. And maybe not even then.

I think it is fatal to specialize. And all kinds of things show us that and that the more diverse we are in what we can do, the better.

I love when I am around a veteran in [show] business. Because I can dig and ask questions, and find out the "who" and "what" of it all.

An expert is somebody who is more than 50 miles from home, has no responsibility for implementing the advice he gives, and shows slides.
