You've got to honor your relationship with your audience - that they sit down because they want to be entertained. And that doesn't mean you can't provoke them and antagonize them and challenge them in the course of the entertainment as long as you keep the entertainment part of the equation alive.

Before machines the only form of entertainment people really had was relationships.

Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I'm one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world it's not a driver - art imitates life.

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive fun entertainment.

Good thing we've still got politics in Texas - finest form of free entertainment ever invented.

I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.

We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing economics politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.

Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

And yet in a culture like ours which is given to material comforts and addicted to forms of entertainment that offer immediate gratification it is surprising that so much poetry is written.

Entertainment came out of this thing called a television and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.

When I grew up what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.

Entertainment isn't just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music and it's great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.

Cinema is entertainment and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.

Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It's almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.

I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous but they can change your world. They can change your views.

Listen I think movies serve many different purposes from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.

And being as I'm somebody who loves movies like The Machinist I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies and so I like to try each of them.

Movies were never an art form they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there and it's still evolving in different ways.

Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.

The reporting I did was mostly entertainment or lifestyle. I took a very different approach than most reporters. I approached it more casually than you would think a reporter would. Now I'm a morning radio personality and radio is really casual.

I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news to information to knowledge to entertainment. How is it bad?

Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.

Growing up I didn't have a lot of toys and personal entertainment depended on individual ingenuity and imagination - think up a story and go live it for an afternoon.
