I’ve always wanted to do a family movie.
Adam SandlerFootball games are on TV, and it doesn’t affect stadium attendance at all. It’s the same with movies. People who really love movies and like to go out on a Saturday night will go to the movie theater.
George LucasMy music is a luxury.
Lana Del ReyMy goal is to entertain myself and others.
Ray BradburyMovies are fun, but they are no cure for cancer.
Clint EastwoodI love making people laugh. And I love laughing.
Kevin HartI recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I’ll go for the gross-out. I’m not proud.
Stephen KingMy philosophy is, it’s always very rewarding when you can make an audience laugh. I don’t mind making fun of myself. I like self-deprecating comedy. But I’d like you to laugh with me occasionally, too.
Dwayne JohnsonThe sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.
George LucasWriters and books are cheap dates, especially when you compare the cost of a book with a ticket to the opera – or an NHL game.
Margaret AtwoodWrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.
Dwayne JohnsonYou see some of the weirdest people in Detroit casinos.
Kevin HartI don’t get bored.
Haruki MurakamiGrowing up I didn’t watch movies.
Denzel WashingtonI like the good life too much, I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.
Anthony HopkinsComedy 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.
Kevin HartThere is no such thing as fun for the whole family.
Jerry SeinfeldTV’s a big deal in prison. A big deal. People watch it nonstop.
Abby Lee MillerAnybody that doesn’t like Cardi B a hater!
Nipsey HussleMan, I really like Vegas.
Elvis PresleyMovies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
Walt DisneyI don’t spend too much time on my phone, laptop or television. However, I do occasionally watch documentaries and shows on streaming platforms.
Sunil ChhetriIt 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.
Anthony BourdainWrestling was like stand-up comedy for me.
Dwayne JohnsonI was arrested for lip-syncing karaoke.
Steven WrightPop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.
Brian EnoYou 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.
Bob MarleyI know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, ‚I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!‘ is so sociologically fascinating that I think I’d better watch.
Brian EnoI like Cardi B!
Nipsey HussleAnd I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.
Jimmy BuffettIf a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.
Erma BombeckI learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.
Elvis PresleyMy shows are not narratives.
Brian EnoI don’t think comedy will ever die.
Kevin HartOn a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage… You start to think that you’re Tom Jones.
Keanu ReevesYou can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.
Bill GatesIt’s really fun to be on stage in front of people.
Billie EilishI work hard for the audience. It’s entertainment. I don’t need validation.
Denzel WashingtonI used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.
George BestThose movies sure got me into a rut.
Elvis PresleyI don’t know who I touch and who I don’t. I work hard trying to make people laugh. I try to do the kind of stuff that made me laugh growing up. I don’t have any secrets. I don’t know the reasons I’ve been so well received.
Adam SandlerThere 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.
Jerry SeinfeldSince childhood, I’ve been a clown. I’ve always liked being very funny or trying to make people laugh. It’s my original self.
Bad BunnyThe one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.
Kevin HartI love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don’t like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.
Ernest HemingwayI don’t want people at my shows to come out and say, ‚I just saw a cool show.‘ I want them to say, ‚I had fun at the show.‘ I want it to be a collaborative thing and be part of the audience and have them be part of me. I try to interact with everyone there and have them be equal to me because they are.
Billie EilishMost of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
Adam SandlerWWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.
Dwayne JohnsonYou make ‚em, I amuse ‚em.
Dr. SeussI’m Mickey Mouse. They don’t know who’s inside the suit.
Keanu ReevesWriters are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.
John SteinbeckThe best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.
Madeleine AlbrightIf my films make one more person miserable, I’ll feel I have done my job.
Woody AllenPeople are using Windows PCs more than they watch TV now.
Bill GatesI absolutely want to have a career where you make’em laugh and make’em cry. It’s all theater.
Jim CarreyI 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.
Lando NorrisSeeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you’re going to get. You know it’s going to be an all-day party.
Taylor SwiftA 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.
Jerry SeinfeldTaking in a baseball game on TV is also a big treat.
Jerry SeinfeldThe celebrity-chef thing, even at its worst, its most annoying, its silliest, its goofiest, its most egregious and cynical, has been a good thing.
Anthony Bourdain
