You hear entertainers all the time saying 'If I couldn't get paid for this I'd do it for free.' When's the last time you ever heard a business person say 'If I couldn't get paid for being chairman of British Petroleum I'd do it for free'?

You and I and everybody in show business and the entertainment industry fly by the seat of our pants. We don't know quite what is going to happen.

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

Every piece of entertainment is made with the idea that 'This is going to be terrific' and 'This is the best thing I've ever done' and then it hits the public and then the public tells you whether it's good or bad.

I've always believed that there are funny people everywhere but they're just not comedians. In fact some of my best comedic inspirations were not professional entertainers.

I don't think people are fools and I think they deserve a good attitude and smart entertainment.

I think fun is an important part of the entertainment industry and it should be. Anybody who's not incorporating some of that into their work needs to take a break go away and have an attitude adjustment.

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.

I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form but as a medium of information.

What the mass media offers is not popular art but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food forgotten and replaced by a new dish.
