Everything I learned I learned from the movies.
Audrey HepburnTo be immortalized in a ride is a very cooI thing.
Dwayne JohnsonThe movie business is a big gamble.
Jackie ChanThe best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.
Madeleine AlbrightI do all my own stunts. I’m kidding.
Dwayne JohnsonA lot of people think I’m a comedian.
Dolly PartonI’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.
Lana Del ReyWe 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.
Walt DisneyWriters are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.
John SteinbeckI feel lucky that I can have people laugh solidly for a whole hour by just saying what I think and getting paid for it.
Steven WrightI learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.
Elvis PresleyI 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.
Mr. TI didn’t have to win, and winning wasn’t important to me. Being world champion wasn’t important to me. What was important to me was entertaining the audience, and whether that meant winning, losing, singing, or whatever it was on the live show we were doing every week, which was awesome, I was game for it.
Dwayne JohnsonI 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.
Lana Del ReyI 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.
Margaret AtwoodI’m not a film buff. I don’t watch a lot of movies.
Denzel WashingtonI know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made ‚em up myself.
Dolly PartonMovies are fun, but they are no cure for cancer.
Clint EastwoodYou 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 GatesThe 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 BourdainMovies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
Walt DisneyYou see the film, you might be entertained, and if it’s not a great film, it loses its power very quickly. I think even simply acceptable books stay with us a lot longer.
Paul AusterEverybody loved ‚The A-Team‘ because it was entertainment, pure and simple.
Mr. TPop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.
Brian EnoKids end up seeing my movies anyway but some of the mothers get mad at me so I figured I’d make one that I can’t get yelled at for.
Adam SandlerStand-up is my baby.
Kevin HartSNL is a home. You’ve got all of your brothers and sisters there, and it’s a great time.
Adam SandlerPeople are using Windows PCs more than they watch TV now.
Bill GatesA man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere are folks who now know black families – like the Johnsons on ‚Black-ish‘ or the folks on ‚Modern Family.‘ They become part of who you are. You share their pains. You understand their fears. They make you laugh, and they change how you see the world.
Michelle ObamaEverybody is entertained to death.
Brian EnoBesides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.
Jackie ChanI 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.
Beyonce Knowles‚Star Wars‘ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.
George LucasWrestling was like stand-up comedy for me.
Dwayne JohnsonI am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.
George LucasDisneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
Walt DisneyPop music will never be low brow.
Lady GagaMusic is part of the life of fashion, too.
Karl LagerfeldThe secret to humor is surprise.
AristotleI love WWE, and I love that platform. There is no other platform in the world that gives me that instant gratification. There is just no other platform.
Dwayne JohnsonThe art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing.
Benjamin FranklinOn a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage… You start to think that you’re Tom Jones.
Keanu ReevesWell, Howard Stern has been doing his impression of me for years. It doesn’t really bother me.
Jerry SeinfeldI’m a showgirl, as you can tell. I’m ever ready.
Dolly Parton‚The Simpsons‘ appearances were great fun. But I don’t take them too seriously. I think ‚The Simpsons‘ have treated my disability responsibly.
Stephen HawkingIt 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 BourdainI never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David ByrnePeople get a kick out of my stupidity.
Dolly PartonFor some of us, watching a miniseries that lasts longer than most marriages is not easy.
Erma BombeckMy 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 JohnsonThere are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.
Elon MuskSince 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 BunnyPolitics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Frank ZappaI want more of my favorite artists or more of the guy that makes the anthems. I want more.
DJ KhaledI enjoy driving on the sim, doing stuff like that, staying at home.
Lando NorrisI love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.
Stephen KingWWE 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 JohnsonFor me, the way I stay consistent is through stand-up comedy.
Kevin HartIf you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.
Dwayne Johnson
