Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
Adam SandlerIn ‚Changeling,‘ I tried to show something you’d never see nowadays – a kid sitting and looking at the radio. Just sitting in front of the radio and listening. Your mind does the rest.
Clint EastwoodI’ll be like Bob Hope, touring when I’m 100.
Dolly PartonI would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Walt DisneyI can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.
George BestMaybe I’ll give Broadway a try. But you know what would be great? Hosting the Oscars. I promise you, that would be a show no one forgot.
Dwayne JohnsonI love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don’t like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.
Ernest HemingwayI don’t like to be bored.
John KennedyIf you’re serious, you really understand that it’s important that you laugh as much as possible and admit that you’re the funniest person you ever met. You have to laugh. Admit that you’re funny. Otherwise, you die in solemnity.
Maya AngelouI work hard for the audience. It’s entertainment. I don’t need validation.
Denzel WashingtonIt’s really fun to be on stage in front of people.
Billie EilishPeople are using Windows PCs more than they watch TV now.
Bill GatesPeople 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.
Kevin HartSo many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I’ll say, ‚That’s right, keep the same haircut for ten years.‘ How fun is that?
Tom BradyI 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 KnowlesI 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.
Mr. TMan, I really like Vegas.
Elvis PresleyWe don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.
Jurgen KloppThat summer after the draft was probably the most fun I’ve ever had, because all I had to do every day was wake up and go work out for four or five hours. I got to play some golf, which I love to do, too, and then got to hang out with my family.
Stephen CurryEverything is funny, as long as it’s happening to somebody else.
Will RogersThere is no such thing as fun for the whole family.
Jerry SeinfeldI 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.
Adam SandlerSince the very beginning, Emeril’s had a sense of humor about me calling him names and poking fun at him.
Anthony BourdainWriters and books are cheap dates, especially when you compare the cost of a book with a ticket to the opera – or an NHL game.
Margaret AtwoodMovies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
Walt Disney‚Star Wars‘ is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. It’s what they want.
George LucasI really like children to watch my movies.
Jackie ChanI performed in a bowling alley before while people were still bowling. Cut the check, and I will perform anywhere.
Kevin HartI’ve done the bad-boy thing. It was fun for a good three months. But the thing about bad boys is, you have to keep in mind, you’re never gonna marry a bad boy.
Ariana GrandeI know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made ‚em up myself.
Dolly PartonI 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.
Brian EnoI 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.
Dwight D. EisenhowerMovies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.
Charlie ChaplinCrankiness is at the essence of all comedy. My wife and I were discussing the different types of cranky. There’s entertaining cranky, annoying cranky, angry cranky.
Jerry SeinfeldSome of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I’d sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn’t miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
Marilyn MonroeI have fun out there on the court, smiling, laughing, trying to have good demeanor.
Stephen CurryMan consists of two parts, his mind and his body, only the body has more fun.
Woody AllenYou 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 GatesI 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 want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.
RihannaMy goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.
Dwayne JohnsonStand-up comedy is mine: it’s my entity; it’s my brand; I own it. I do it when I want to do it.
Kevin HartNearly 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.
Brian EnoI saw ‚Magic Mike,‘ and I thought it was great.
Abby Lee MillerAccording to Lifetime, I don’t know anything about TV.
Abby Lee MillerI used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.
George BestPop music will never be low brow.
Lady GagaOn a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage… You start to think that you’re Tom Jones.
Keanu ReevesMy children love Maleficent’s voice, so they always make me do it at home.
Angelina JolieEverything I learned I learned from the movies.
Audrey HepburnThe most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably ‚Doctor Who.‘ What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.
Terry PratchettThere’s nothing funnier than the human animal.
Walt DisneyWe participate in a tragedy; at a comedy we only look.
Aldous HuxleyI never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It’s more fun to come to Paris.
Karl LagerfeldI liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.
Lando NorrisI absolutely want to have a career where you make’em laugh and make’em cry. It’s all theater.
Jim CarreyIt’s fun to be hopelessly in love. It’s dangerous, but it’s fun.
Keanu ReevesAnd I love a scary movie. It makes your toes curl and it’s not you going through it.
Anthony HopkinsWell, we know that people in Australia love the idea of both Impulse and Virgin Blue getting up and adding a bit of competition, and it’s fun to be able to deliver it.
Richard BransonMost people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
George Orwell
