Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.
To know anything of a poet but his poetry is so far as the poetry is concerned to know something that may be entertaining even delightful but is certainly inessential.
I've often entertained paranoid suspicions about my fridge and what it's been doing to my poetry when I'm not looking but I never even considered that my fan was thinking about me.
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.
I saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their daily lives and put smiles on their faces as opposed to what I see it being now which is a way for me to actually communicate and a way for me to tap into my subconscious.
Cinema is entertainment and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.
When I'm shooting a movie I'm always in an invisible theater seat. I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.
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.
I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies which I felt there was a lack of.
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.
Any fool can make enough money to survive. It's another thing to keep yourself consistently entertained. It's a lot of work and a lot of fun to make a life.
I still think of that guy I was without a wife or kids and I still want to entertain that guy. The lonely guy the frustrated guy the guy with no money - this is the guy who needs to laugh.
I used to do skits for my mom... and I was always entertaining as a kid.
I went nearly 30 years without being able to really seriously entertain marriage or a family. In fact the word 'marriage' would actually give me a shake when it was brought up.
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?
One can survive everything nowadays except death and live down everything except a good reputation.
