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.

You 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.

Acting is the perfect idiot’s profession.

When I was performing the songs on ‚Kiss Land,‘ it was a great singalong. But there were moments where I realized some parts were catchier than the others. There’s maybe two choruses on all of ‚Kiss Land.‘

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

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

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

Stand-up is hard.

Writers are a little below clowns and a little above trained seals.

Football 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.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

I don’t think comedy will ever die.

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.

There’s nothing funnier than the human animal.

SNL is a home. You’ve got all of your brothers and sisters there, and it’s a great time.

The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it’s their fault.

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

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

I 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.

One of the things you’re doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.

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.

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

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

I sent out a tweet, ‚Dancing with the Stars‘ should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn’t make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody’s going to war.

What we anticipate seldom occurs: but what we least expect generally happens.

People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.

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

My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

Music was an experience, intimately married to your life. You could pay to hear music, but after you did, it was over, gone – a memory.

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

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

There’s a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven’t. You just do the best you can.

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

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

Stand-up is my baby.

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

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

When it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.

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

Those movies sure got me into a rut.

I’ve always wanted to do a family movie.

The movie business is a big gamble.

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 make pop culture.

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 used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.

When you’re in comedy, people always come up and say, ‚Oh, it must be so hard.‘ It really isn’t hard unless you’re not good at it. If you can do it, its really kind of fun and easy.

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.

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

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.

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

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

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

I do all my own stunts. I’m kidding.

I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.

I enjoy driving on the sim, doing stuff like that, staying at home.

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.

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

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family.

I certainly agree that putting everything into little genres is counterproductive. You’re not going to get too many surprises if you only focus on the stuff that fits inside the box that you know.
