I saw ‚Magic Mike,‘ and I thought it was great.

Anybody that doesn’t like Cardi B a hater!

On ‚Think Like a Man,‘ they got the best out of me because they allowed me to bring my own cadences and opinions to the character that I was playing. I think we got the best of that particular character.

There should be a point to movies. Sure, you’re giving people a diversion from the cold world for a bit, but at the same time, you pass on some facts and rules and maybe a little bit of wisdom.

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.

My favorite movies of all times is ‚Doctor Zhivago,‘ and I love ‚Gone With the Wind.‘ I’d love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.

The secret to film is that it’s an illusion.

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.

My shows are not narratives.

We are not trying to entertain the critics. I’ll take my chances with the public.

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.

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.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you’re going to get. You know it’s going to be an all-day party.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

My folks always let me go to the movies every Saturday. We were really motion-picture goers.

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

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

Films and television and even comic books are churning out vast quantities of fictional narratives, and the public continues to swallow them up with great passion. That is because human beings need stories.

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.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

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

On a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage… You start to think that you’re Tom Jones.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

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

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

The only film I’ve enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in ‚The Wrestler.‘

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

I could hardly sit through ‚Frozen.‘ There was an attempt to craft a moral message and to build the story around that, instead of building the story and letting the moral message emerge. It was the subjugation of art to propaganda, in my estimation.

I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.

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.

I like Italian movies. I was frequently there in the ’60s, in Rome and the vicinity. It was a great period in life. I was very influenced by their stuff.

I love Steve Carell.

A lot of people think I’m a comedian.

Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.

I’ve always wanted to do a family movie.

‚Eastern Promises‘ is great.

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.

I 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.

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

I am a fan of the ‚Rocky‘ films, and ‚Rocky 4‘ is my favourite. I also like ‚The Warriors.‘

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

The movie business is a big gamble.

I wouldn’t put myself forward to do a film like ‚Changeling‘ if I thought I couldn’t pull people into a story because of all the other ways people see me.

What a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.

I make pop culture.

Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.

In those days, the early 1980s, TV and film were interchangeable.

Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.

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

If 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.

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

If you go to a bad movie, it’s two hours. If you’re in a bad movie, it’s two years.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

Those movies sure got me into a rut.

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

I’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.

My opinion can be completely different after a show.

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.

In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time.

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.

Kids 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.
