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.

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.

The American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand.

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

Are we simply waving farewell to the days when some of the most interesting thinking in Europe and America came to us from our fiction film-makers? BBC2, which once introduced and showed great films, now shows none.

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.

When I was born in 1920, the auto was only 20 years old. Radio didn’t exist. TV didn’t exist. I was born at just the right time to write about all of these things.

I make pop culture.

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

There’s only one thing that can kill the movies, and that’s education.

We’re going to be OK because of the American people. They have more grit, determination and courage than you can imagine.

When you’re young, you look at television and think, there’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.

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.

In an interconnected age when opportunistic adversaries can work in tandem to destroy stability and prosperity, our country needs to regain its strategic footing. We need to bring the clarity to our efforts before we lose the confidence of the American people and the support of potential allies.

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

Stand-up comedy is mine: it’s my entity; it’s my brand; I own it. I do it when I want to do it.

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.

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

The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it’s so much fun.

The American people have not become heartless.

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

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

I was arrested for lip-syncing karaoke.

There is something curiously boring about somebody else’s happiness.

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

I love making people laugh. And I love laughing.

When Jerry Springer thinks you’ve gone too far, my friends, you have gone too far.

I 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.

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.

Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad television.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

I don’t like to be bored.

Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

I’ve been thinking of humorous things since I was… I can’t remember when. All the way through elementary school, all the way through junior high, all the way through high school, through college and after college, I was thinking of the same kinds of things that I say in front of an audience now.

My 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.

The success I have achieved in bodybuilding, motion pictures, and business would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.

I like Cardi B!

Money and investing can be complex, confusing, and often boring subjects.

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 don’t get bored.

In the end, everything is a gag.

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

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 hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.

I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.

The movie business is a big gamble.

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 sell escapism.

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.

My goal is to make everyone and anyone a Kevin Hart fan.

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

If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.

I 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.

Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there’s been an Axl Rose. And it’s just boring. It’s totally boring to me.

I know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made ‚em up myself.

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

Disneyland is a show.

It’s really fun to be on stage in front of people.

I think the family movie is very important to everybody right now.

I think the 24-hour news cycle has helped exaggerate the differences between the parties. You can always find someone on TV somewhere carping about something. That didn’t happen 20 years ago.

I could have spent eight years doing anything, and at some level, it would have been fine. I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There’s no legislative authority; you’re not elected. And that’s a wonderful gift of freedom.
