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.

George Carlin

I have a funny sense of humor. If I was a comedian and I was up on stage, people would think that's funny, because I'm a funny comedian. I'm an entertainer.

Lil B

When I get hired as an actor as opposed to a writer, one of things that's exciting for me is doing stuff I wouldn't normally do myself. So whether it's a kid's movie or a voice in animation or in this case - where I just get to be silly, it's a different kind of comedy for me. As a performer, it's a different pleasure than when you're writing or directing. As a performer, you're just in the hands of the director and you go with whatever they want to do.

Stephen Merchant

If a comedian has a strong following, and the branded segment feels different compared to what you typically do, people will know right away that it's not authentic to who you are as a comedian or performer. Brands need to keep that in mind.

Billy Eichner

When you do improv, you're everything. You're a performer, writer, and director, because you're moving the scene in the direction you want it to go, you're making it up as you go, and you're acting it.

Rob Reiner

Canadian comedians are generally more well-rounded... They have to do a lot more. In order to have a career in this country, you have to do everything. And in the States you can narrow-cast, you can be just a sitcom performer or a stand-up comedian or a sketch performer.

Scott Thompson

My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer, and my mom's a director and writer. Even when I was young, I wanted to be an actress.

Troian Bellisario

I see myself much more as a writer/director or at least an aspiring writer/director - not necessarily in film.

Ricky Gervais

I'm very much a stand-up comedian in my heart. That's really what I do. Now I'm trying to incorporate all of the different elements of my work as a performer, and use it as a stand-up comedian.

Margaret Cho

I'm not a performer. If they're looking for entertainer-in-chief, I'm probably not the guy.

Jeb Bush

My dad is a successful television producer, director and writer and my mom's a director and writer.

Troian Bellisario

I feel an actor is an entertainer first then a performer.

Rajpal Yadav

I grew into who I always wanted to be as a drag entertainer and performer.

Shangela

I feel like I am a true entertainer and performer.

Gabby Barrett

I think he is an entertainer. I would prefer if he were a performer.

Carol Bellamy

A writer is a performer as well. A writer isn't the literary department. That gets tried on but nothing's a script unless a good writer goes away and does his thing alone.
