Be undeniably good. When people ask me how do you make it in show business or whatever, what I always tell them & nobody ever takes note of it 'cause it's not the answer they wanted to hear-what they want to hear is here's how you get an agent, here's how you write a script, here's how you do this-but I always say, โBe so good they can't ignore you.โ If somebody's thinking, โHow can I be really good?โ people are going to come to you. It's much easier doing it that way than going to cocktail parties.
Steve MartinWhen 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.
Steve MartinI was always very shy but as I get older I think, What am I being shy for? You just grow weary of your own hang-ups.
