Ask Me Quotes - Page 21

• 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, “Be so good they can't ignore you.” If somebody's thinking, “How can I be really good?” people are going to come to you. It's much easier doing it that way than going to cocktail parties.

• I always say people would rather be nice than right. I like to be nice too, but come on. People frequently ask me, what is my definition of politically correct.

Well, being nice and sensitive are important, but they're not more important than being right; they're not more important than the truth.
