I like to be human and not lose myself in becoming a mannequin, which people in showbiz are accused of.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Despite being in showbiz, I have a very real approach to my life. It plays off with my social life.
For me, the showbiz memoir is uninteresting - you want to tell people something they don't know about.
Alexei Sayle
My dad did a radio show. I was on it when I was seven. So now you know that the showbiz bug bit me really early.
Amy Jackson
I'm having a tough time coping in showbiz. I'm absolutely terrified of it. Each time you walk out, somebody wants to click a picture.
Amyra Dastur
Reality shows give a great platform to young singers, but kids shouldn't be exposed to showbiz at a very young age.
Arijit Singh
My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.
Ben Stiller
When I was child, I was intoxicated by celebrities, showbiz and theatre, but from a child's perspective, where they seem far away.
Billy Eichner
As women, we tend to take the easy way out in showbiz. I have done movies where all I did was look pretty in every frame.
Bipasha Basu
I have been called 'Bongshell' the day I stepped into showbiz. So, any adjective coming my way, I take it positively. Sometimes it's also entertaining, but I don't feel bad about it. I'm a proud woman.
There is a theory in showbiz circles that mentally you remain the same age as when you first tasted fame, and I think there is a grain of truth in this.
Bob Mortimer
The pushy showbiz kid thing was always the performance, not the person. I'm very solitary. I don't like socialising.
Bonnie Langford
When you've been brought up in variety, I think timing is always important in your life. If I'm ever late for anything, whether it's personal or business, I always apologise. 'I'm sorry I'm late,' and all that. And if somebody is late meeting me, I expect them to say 'I'm sorry I'm late.' It's just, shall we say, showbiz etiquette of my day.
Bruce Forsyth
My daughter's dabbling in showbiz, and she's done a few commercials. She's auditioned for some movies and shows, so I'm letting her pursue that. I'm OK with it.
Candace Cameron Bure
I never go to these showbiz parties. I avoid them with a 10-inch pole.
Chris O'Dowd
In showbiz, so much success and fame comes your way and then it passes on to someone else.
Chunky Pandey
You cannot open a major New York restaurant today and not be aware that showbiz will play a role.
Danny Meyer
I think it's particularly fun not being a full-time showbiz reporter because you still have the 'Oh, wow!' factor when you go out on the red carpet and there are these big stars that are standing there. But if you're doing this day in and day out, it becomes a little blase.
Daryn Kagan
A lot of the music I was inspired by growing up - college rock, DIY, what they used to call indie rock - has a value system where truth-telling and authenticity are oppositional with mass media, showbiz, and commerce.
David Longstreth
Showbiz and churches are the same thing. You never saw 'The Wizard of Oz?'
David Milch
WWE is like showbiz boot camp.
The kids think we're wacky. Mum and Dad are in showbiz - they don't know any other way. They've grown up travelling all over the world and are getting a worldly education. My son is 12 and he can speak eloquently on religions and cultures.
Anyone in showbiz rock 'n' roll who says they're so tired of playing their hit songs, I want to smack them. I think it's an act. Because, look, you work your tail off to get people to validate you.
I'm a confident person next to the guy in the street, but if you go into the showbiz world, it seems the guys who are most successful are the most confident, and I don't think I fit into that category.
What we're supposed to do as actors is be able to portray real human beings and emotions. And if you grow up in this bubble of showbiz and you only know people who make movies, you don't really have an understanding of the world outside.
There are times when adverse publicity has hit my life, but these things are the growing pains of showbiz marriage.
Far from being a showbiz gimmick, for me dressing as I please has signalled the end of a lifelong performance of straightforward masculinity.
My showbiz career started with 'SNL,' and to write an 'SNL' book... well, there are already enough of those.
I've two great friends in showbiz - Nigaar Khan and Waseem Sabir.
My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.
I constantly know that showbiz is going to be short-lived, you have to grab every opportunity as well as you can.
Even if I aspired to be in showbiz, I felt physically inadequate being compared to my parents.
My first real showbiz job was on a Nickelodeon show called 'Hey, Dude.' That was my first real paid scriptwriting job.
One of my friend calls me 'lost to showbiz', but that's only because I don't go for a drink as often as he'd like, because I'm always working. I've met very few famous people who are lost to showbiz - I have met some, mind.
A beautiful face with a sexy body is a dime a dozen in showbiz. When you have magnetic personality, you beat everybody else.
I grew up in a rural area, I was from kind of a poor family and my parents weren't showbiz people. But going back was strange, and perhaps stranger for the other students.
When I was in N.W.A. and didn't get paid all the money I was owed, that's when the business side of showbiz hit me.
I was raised as a tomboy with boys, and I never really feel like myself when I am really dolled up at premieres and showbiz events.
The showbiz world has to be manipulated to make it more interesting because most people's lives are boring.
I think my recognizability ebbs and flows. I don't lead a particularly celebrity lifestyle or anything like that. I don't go to showbiz parties or red-carpet events, so it all depends on whether I've got a film out. I've not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street.
Also, the more you're not focused on showbiz and instead focused on life, learning about other people, and keeping your eyes open and trying to be aware of the world.
Showbiz works well when you give the audience what they want.
My father was so in love with showbiz, all the different aspects - what we're doing here, making the movies, everything about it.
People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn't. It just makes you a sad bitter old showbiz nightmare.
It's feast or famine in showbiz.
When you're born into a showbiz family, the deck is stacked against you.
Comedians and impressionists used to be two different showbiz animals entirely, but now there's no such thing as a comedian who doesn't do impressions.
I like hanging out at non-showbizzy places.
We all know showbiz isn't easy, but being a comic - especially being a female comic - can be quite punishing.
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.
