These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don't drive I wouldn't mind riding a bike... People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I'm an artist man. I'm going to live like an artist.

We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.

People are always saying that Hollywood messes up kids. I'm like 'No families mess up kids!' I grew up in Hollywood and I'm perfectly fine. If my children want to go into the entertainment business I won't stop them as long as they're passionate about it.

Everything is tennis for me it's my career and it's entertainment but it's also a business.

I realize that the majority of people in the entertainment business happen to be Democrats. I have no problem with that. And they should have no problem with the fact that I'm a Republican.

I want to tell my jokes. I want to have time with my children. I want to entertain people. And at one point I'll walk away from show business. But I don't want to walk away empty-handed.

It's tough because a lot of my friends in normal life a lot of my friends in the entertainment business and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay. Just to say something spiteful and hurtful I don't get it... if it was true and I was gay I'd embrace it and I'd tell you guys about it and I'd celebrate it.

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.

Many museums are drawing audiences with art that is ostensibly more entertaining than stuff that just sits and invites contemplation. Interactivity gizmos eating hanging out things that make noise - all are now the norm often edging out much else.

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.

Well Freddie Mercury is a really huge rock star in my head. I've always thought he was just so tough and such an amazing entertainer really a contradiction in many ways as well. So he was incredible.

Just going on the road and entertaining the fans that's amazing.
