And I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it’s not you going through it.

I like my fair share of board games.

I spent much of my childhood in northern Quebec, and often there was no radio, no television – there wasn’t a lot to entertain us. When it rained, I stayed inside reading, writing, drawing.

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

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

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 love Chris Brown. He’s a superstar. He’s one of the best singers out there.

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war – for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I’d say we deserve ours more.

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.

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

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.

There’s nothing funnier than the human animal.

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.

Dude, maybe not everyone loves ‚Glee.‘ Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn’t my thing.

We are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can.

Human beings need stories, and we’re looking for them in all kinds of places; whether it’s television, whether it’s comic books or movies, radio plays, whatever form, people are hungry for stories.

The celebrity-chef thing, even at its worst, its most annoying, its silliest, its goofiest, its most egregious and cynical, has been a good thing.

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.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.

Maybe I’ll give Broadway a try. But you know what would be great? Hosting the Oscars. I promise you, that would be a show no one forgot.

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.

People don’t want drama 365 days a year. I’m a sense of relief; it’s my job to take your mind off what’s bad for that brief second you’re in the room with me, regardless of shape, race, colour or anything. It brings people together, and it makes me feel good about what I’m doing.

Crankiness is at the essence of all comedy. My wife and I were discussing the different types of cranky. There’s entertaining cranky, annoying cranky, angry cranky.

A lot of people think I’m a comedian.

Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.

Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Nothing feels better than going onstage and everybody is singing every word – and actually wanting to see you.

Acting is the perfect idiot’s profession.

You see some of the weirdest people in Detroit casinos.

I like Cardi B!

I don’t know how the rap game is, because I’m a fan of reality, and the rap game’s entertainment.

‚Star Wars‘ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.

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

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

There’s something about being in front of a live audience that’s fun. It’s a really interesting, very electric, very alive, and intense experience, and you can’t get it anywhere else. And I’ve been doing it since I was 23, so it’s part of my being – it’s part of my fabric as a person.

I want more of my favorite artists or more of the guy that makes the anthems. I want more.

It just seems there’s better things to do in your life than be on television if it’s not interesting, if it’s not challenging, if it’s not fun. You know? When it stops being those things for me, I’ll stop making television.

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.

People are using Windows PCs more than they watch TV now.

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.

To the audience, it’s like I’m changing the subject every five seconds, but to me, my show’s almost like a 90-minute song that I know exactly. I wrote every note, and I know exactly where everything is.

My music is a luxury.

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.

If you tell me there’s something I can’t do, I’ll want to do it even more. Especially when it comes to entertaining.

I have kind of a funny relationship with movies. I don’t have to see the whole movie to get an impression of it or to let it have an influence on me.

I feel lucky that I can have people laugh solidly for a whole hour by just saying what I think and getting paid for it.

I work hard for the audience. It’s entertainment. I don’t need validation.

I take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They’ve got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I’ve got to be conscious of that.

In ‚Changeling,‘ I tried to show something you’d never see nowadays – a kid sitting and looking at the radio. Just sitting in front of the radio and listening. Your mind does the rest.

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

Those movies sure got me into a rut.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

Well, Howard Stern has been doing his impression of me for years. It doesn’t really bother me.

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.

The greatest thing about being a comedian is knowing other comedians. And you get to talk to them. Its the most fun.

Anybody that doesn’t like Cardi B a hater!

You entertain people who are satisfied. Hungry people can’t be entertained – or people who are afraid. You can’t entertain a man who has no food.

I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down – we’re not going to be the number one group in the world forever – so you have to have something else to fall back on.
