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.
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.
Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda and entertainment without moral passion is television.
I believe entertainment can aspire to be art and can become art but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business the business of building entertainment.
Los Angeles is a very magical place when you take the entertainment industry out of it. You have beautiful beaches and amazing mountains here. I'm a big rock climber. I head out into the mountains whenever I have free time. It's amazing.
A country is made not by policy alone but by its music its entertainment shows all of it.
When I was producing on my own I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself if nothing else that I could do it as a woman.
In the modern media age we are rarely surprised by what we see. Whether it's on television or film or in the theatre everything is so advertised so trailed that most entertainment is merely what you thought it was going to be like.
