‚Star Wars‘ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war – for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I’d say we deserve ours more.

Anyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.

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

If it’s all instruction, you get annoyed with it and bored, and you stop reading. If it’s all entertainment, you read it quite quickly, your heart going pitty-pat, pitty-pat. But when you finish, that’s it. You’re not going to think about it much afterward, apart from the odd nightmare. You’re not going to read that book again.

Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.

Extremely religious, legalistic people have a criticism or judgment about everyone and everything. They just have a way of bringing people down with what they say.

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Life is better when people are working, happy, and spending money.

You 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.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

As a producer, as a CEO of Hartbeat Productions, I am making deals to put my company in place to win, to put my staff to work so that while all this stuff is going on, they’re in the kitchen cooking. So it’s understanding the longevity of the entertainment business; you get out of it what you put into it.

I looked the people of Louisiana in the eye and told them exactly what I thought in terms that normal people use.

Pop music will never be low brow.

There’s nothing funnier than the human animal.

I love Steve Carell.

People get a kick out of my stupidity.

I’m a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys – movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

Outsourcing is inevitable, and I don’t think it’s necessarily treating people like things.

The secret to humor is surprise.

It’s a very good question, very direct, and I’m not going to answer it.

You’re unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things.

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.

It’s a lot of fun to fight.

You make ‚em, I amuse ‚em.

We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.

One of the powerful temptations is that of the cinema palace. The cinema has undoubtedly an enormous attraction for boys, and people are constantly cudgelling their brains how to stop it. But it is one of those things which would be very difficult to stop even if it were altogether desirable.

I think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people. And I mean, that’s true socially. It makes you have more fun, right. It feels better to be more connected to all these people. You have a richer life.

The revenues of Cuban state-run companies are used exclusively for the benefit of the people, to whom they belong.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Money does not change people, people change.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

The movie business is a big gamble.

I like entertaining people. I really miss it.

There are some loony people in this world!

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

I like Cardi B!

Live the life you’ve dreamed.

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.

It’s never crowded along the extra mile.

The inquiry constantly is what will please, not what will benefit the people. In such a government there can be nothing but temporary expedient, fickleness, and folly.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I’m sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

Playing big, heroic characters with heart is always a lot of fun. I enjoy making movies like that, and a lot of people love to live vicariously through those characters.

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

We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

I like the good life too much, I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

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

My success comes in making fun of whatever you’re doing. That’s my way.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty.

I repeat… that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.

I’m not a film buff. I don’t watch a lot of movies.

Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.

People don’t want drama 365 days a year. I’m a sense of relief; it’s my job to take your mind off what’s bad for that brief second you’re in the room with me, regardless of shape, race, colour or anything. It brings people together, and it makes me feel good about what I’m doing.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

Whatever is well said by another, is mine.

Stand-up is my baby.

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.

If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I’d still swim. And I’d despise the one who gave up.
