Disneyland is a show.

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

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.

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

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.

Taking in a baseball game on TV is also a big treat.

Pop music will never be low brow.

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 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.

For some of us, watching a miniseries that lasts longer than most marriages is not easy.

Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.

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

We participate in a tragedy; at a comedy we only look.

I did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career – anything for a laugh.

I 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.

I make pop culture.

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.

You think I’m going to ask these sweet 14 year olds to ask their parents to buy a $100 ticket then run around in latex and lip sync? No way.

You make ‚em, I amuse ‚em.

My shows are not narratives.

The best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.

WWE 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.

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

I don’t like to be bored.

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

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

I was arrested for lip-syncing karaoke.

For me, the way I stay consistent is through stand-up comedy.

The tradition of the South is not urban… I think we are a region of storytellers, naturally, just from our tribal instincts. We did not have the pleasures of the theater or the dance, motion pictures when they came along. We simply entertain each other by talking.

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.

I’ve always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.

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.

‚Best Man Holiday‘ was a very successful film.

People that seem so glorious are all show; underneath they are like everyone else.

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

I’ll be like Bob Hope, touring when I’m 100.

I like my fair share of board games.

I performed in a bowling alley before while people were still bowling. Cut the check, and I will perform anywhere.

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.

I love making people laugh. And I love laughing.

We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster – closed and forgotten within the first year.

The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.

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

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

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

Stand-up is my baby.

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

I like Cardi B!

Everybody loved ‚The A-Team‘ because it was entertainment, pure and simple.

I think that people are interested seeing me on the screen.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

I really like children to watch my movies.

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.

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

My goal is to entertain myself and others.

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.

I always thought Johnny Carson was just brilliant, and I used to watch him and all the comics that would be on the show every night – and I’d dream about it being me.

Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.
