The show business has all phases and grades of dignity, from the exhibition of a monkey to the exposition of that highest art in music or the drama which secures for the gifted artists a world-wide fame princes well might envy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.
Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.
The great thing about doing art shows is you get to meet the people who are interested in your art, and I think that when you're purchasing a piece of art it's a tremendous bonus to get to meet the artist because you get a chance to pick their brain a bit and find out first hand what the piece is about for the artist.
I'm in showbusiness. I'm an entertainer.
I think it's a very ephemeral thing, what makes a show a success.
Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.
The great lesson in theatre is that you live the story every night, and that is a wonderful vehicle for getting to the richest places in a performance or investing a character with the richest life.
Artistic credentials are au courant in the important business of being seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, stupendously rich.
The highest levels of fame in the entertainment business are geared toward keeping the artist disconnected, disinterested and continuing to make product and not developing any sort of 'normal life.'
There is more to life than show business.
