I wanted to show off - a simple impulse or drive; in much the same way as some kids wanted to play football, I wanted to show off. Not complicated in that sense, very natural; it just depends on how you want to show off.

I show off - I'm a very good show off. It's what I do, it's what I'm good at.

But if you're doing something, show up everyday, and something good might happen - it's not going to happen if you don't show up.

I'm an actor, of course, so I like to show off.

Show, don't tell, is a mantra repeated by tutors of creative writing courses the world over. As advice for amateurs, it is sound and helps avoid character profiling, unactivated scenes, and broken narrative frames.

I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.

I don't need to show anybody anything other than getting the guy out who is trying to make his money off of me.

I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'
