I think it's a very dangerous game to play when you assume that just because someone's an entertainer, they're automatically a role model. Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself. They're just doing their own version of entertaining.

I've always wanted to stay involved with young people. I never bought into the idea that entertainers owe nothing to their audience except a good performance.

Being an entertainer includes knowing how to connect with an audience.

We are entertainers. We're trying to entertain people.

I was an entertainer, ever since I was a kid.

What I've always done as an entertainer is try to come up with things that people will find interesting, or compelling, or humorous.

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to.

When doing family entertainment, you don't actually worry about kids. You know what you can't do. But in terms of sensibility and sophistication and wit and ambition, aim for your own taste level, and kids will - if they're interested in the subject matter - be glad that you did.

It's about the music and that's it. I'm not an entertainer. But I do entertain people, see what I mean?

I think from the time I was a kid I've been an entertainer. I've always had the ability to play characters. When I came to California, I was overwhelmed that you could do this and get paid for it, make a living on it, and be creative within this art form.
