I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it’s a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life - then I think it’s a great career.

Sweeney frames entertainment work as a trade-off between creative/financial reward and the costs of celebrity. The pivot from “no one should go into show biz” to “it’s a great career” hinges on a specific condition: earning a living without becoming so famous that ordinary privacy and routine disappear. Implicitly, she distinguishes the craft of performing/writing from the culture of fame, suggesting that the healthiest version of the career is one where recognition doesn’t eclipse personal autonomy. The quote also reads as pragmatic advice: success isn’t maximal visibility, but sustainable work, decent pay, and a life that still feels livable.
