For a long time, I've distinguished between entertainer and performer and entertainer and artist. To me, an entertainer is someone who pleases others, and an artist tries to please himself.
I feel an actor is an entertainer first then a performer.
I don't get on stage and give a social diatribe. I am a performer and an entertainer.
Some musicians feel they have to provide what their audiences expect. They lose the distinction between an artist and an entertainer. I am not an entertainer.
I feel like I am just an entertainer. It does not matter what form I take to perform and entertain. I think I deserve being called a performer because you don't call Tyler Perry a drag queen. You don't call Will Smith a drag queen and all the other mainstream artists who use the aesthetic of drag to entertain.
Nina Simone was an entertainer. Bob Dylan was an entertainer. Anyone that can occupy a piece of music and make the air catch on fire at that moment is a true entertainer. That's how I view it. That's what I was meant to do. I love doing it. That's why I'm on earth.
When I was younger, I always wanted to be a musician, a performer and an entertainer - but I never thought about becoming a poster or anything like that. It's pretty cool.
I'm not a performer. If they're looking for entertainer-in-chief, I'm probably not the guy.
I'm a performer, comedian, entertainer, writer and director.
I don't feel like I am 66 at all. I feel more like I am 35. But I have a bus pass so it must be true.
I think he is an entertainer. I would prefer if he were a performer.
I grew into who I always wanted to be as a drag entertainer and performer.
Am I a frustrated performer? My wife would say I am! I guess there has to be something of the performer in you if you build a global business.
I worked in Trenton, and then I got sidetracked into comedy and then onto 'SNL.' And then into being a live performer - what I do now; virtually that's what I am: I'm a live entertainer.
I think you have a limited amount of impact as an entertainer, performer, or musician.
One thing that I am becoming to learn is that you've got to have patience and wait your turn in this game. I feel like I am progressing as an artist, as a writer and as a performer and I know that there will be that one moment that will change everything.
