I like a drama.

I don’t spend too much time on my phone, laptop or television. However, I do occasionally watch documentaries and shows on streaming platforms.

You are always hoping that movie audiences are interested in characters and interested in story values rather than just mindless special effects. But you never know.

Stand-up is my baby.

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

I like the good life too much, I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

I love performing, you know, because, like I say, I’m a ham for this stuff.

I don’t watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched ‚The King’s Speech‘ on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

I don’t feel that I’m explaining the world or teaching people anything. And I’m not trying to be a mirror, showing them what’s really going on the world. All I’m trying to do is think of stuff that’s funny, just like when I’m kidding around with my friends.

I’m not a film buff. I don’t watch a lot of movies.

Comedy Central was a great network, but ‚Chappelle’s Show‘ took it to a completely different level. Other shows got bigger because so many viewers were watching the ‚Chappelle‘ reruns. For BET, the ‚Real Husbands of Hollywood‘ has that same potential.

The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.

I like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics.

My show ‚The Big House‘ was picked up; they flew me to New York. I’m about to step on stage to announce Kevin Hart’s ‚The Big House.‘ And a hand grabs my shoulder, ‚Kevin no, they just decided to cancel it.‘ It’s a serious smack-in-the-face business, and either you can take it, or you can’t.

The movie business is a big gamble.

When it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.

I don’t watch it, but I know enough to comment on it.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I’d sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn’t miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

As we all know, sequels can be tricky.

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

I’m all about surprises. If you watch a horror movie, and it’s called ‚Kiss Land,‘ it’s probably going to be the most terrifying thing you’ve ever seen in your life.

At the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It’s a gift.

Opera happens because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you’re going to get. You know it’s going to be an all-day party.

According to Lifetime, I don’t know anything about TV.

I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.

I really hope someday in Hollywood, some producer or director will hire me only to do drama.

A lot of my rhymes are just to get chuckles out of people. Anybody with half a brain is going to be able to tell when I’m joking and when I’m serious.

Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

I learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.

TV’s a big deal in prison. A big deal. People watch it nonstop.

I don’t get bored.

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.

I like Cardi B!

I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.

Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another.

Pop music will never be low brow.

Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

Movies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match.

Nobody enjoys the ‚little show about nothing‘ humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

In the end, everything is a gag.

When I do stand-up shows at colleges, girls will talk to me after the show, and that always feels good. I like talking to them.

I knew early on that I wanted to entertain in some form. And I knew I would work as hard as anyone to do it.

I’m Mickey Mouse. They don’t know who’s inside the suit.

I do probably 60 concerts a year in the States. And I go out to clubs in the week. I’m doing new stuff all the time.

Movies are fun, but they are no cure for cancer.

When you come to my show, I want it to feel like opera, like a theatre.

I don’t feel pressure in a negative way. I like pressure. I feel excitement and calm at the same time. No pressure, no diamonds. I want pressure: pressure creates drama, creates emotion.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

A lot of times, you could play me just the laughs from my set, and I could tell you, from the laugh, what the joke was. Because they match.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

I sell escapism.

Is there a sharper commentary on American culture and the world than The Simpsons?

A lot of people think I’m a comedian.

The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it’s their fault.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

Nothing is so intolerable to man as being fully at rest, without a passion, without business, without entertainment, without care.
