Michael Eisner let it be known last week that he had no intention of leaving the entertainment business once he steps down as CEO of Disney in October.
Katalyst is a merger of three industries. A piece of us is connected to ad agencies. Because we get the complex overlay of the social Web, we know how to engage an audience and how to make entertainment for the social Web. And we know how to gain and activate and retain an audience. So we create social networks for brands.
My background is that I've spent a lot of time marketing entertainment. One of the old saws in package goods is you can take something that is popular and you can make it more popular. But if you take something less popular, you can't automatically market it into the same success as something that's already popular.
Wars are usually really popular with people that aren't gonna be affected by them. 'Cause it's just entertainment, and it's just weird, like, 'Well, we've got to show the world that we're strong.' No we don't. And by the way, that has nothing to do with you. Why are you equating yourself with that... you know what I mean?
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
I'm interested in telling stories that add up to more than the entertainment of the story. That's what does it for me.
Suddenly, the screens were dominated by American entertainment to the extent of something like 95 percent. As a result, audiences turned away from the kinds of films that we used to make.
You want entertainment in general, every aspect of it, to be more of a reflection of the diverse world that we live in.
Kids in the entertainment industry are at a risk of developing depression, as they see glamour at an early age.
I don't like to be entertaining. I don't like the feeling of being entertaining. If there was a musical or a comedy that was not just for entertainment but was rooted in something I could relate to on a real level, then I think I would do it.
I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.
I think people feel starved of nice, glamorous entertainment. They want to see costumes and gaiety and a singer; old-fashioned entertainment - it won't die easily.
Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.
We aren't in an information age, we are in an entertainment age.
I kind of get a next-gen game machine, but competing for the home entertainment business? We'll see how that goes.
I'm not a big TV guy, but I love either 'Auction Hunters' or those repo shows on truTV. It's really just glorified 'Jerry Springer' is all it is. Every now and then, it's just mindless entertainment. We'll be on the bus, and we'll laugh at it. Those are my guilty pleasures.
I'm telling you, there have been some great finishers in the world of pro wrestling or sports entertainment. Whatever you want to call it. Man, I enjoyed the Iron Claw back in the day. I believed it was real.
Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.
We're the only dance in town. We don't compete with any professional teams for the entertainment dollar.
I'd be curious to find out, but I don't think people in the entertainment industry are proportionally more or less serious politically than anyone in the landscaping industry.
I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information.

Acting is definitely put at the back of my mind, if it's there at all right now. It's all entertainment.
From this entertainment industry, may the gods of language protect us.
In India, the films are not looked upon just as entertainment. They're a way of life.
I think the act of condensing months or years of work down to a couple hours of entertainment is pretty wild and extremely rewarding.
We are in the entertainment business and we all know if you are top of the tree you get the big money. Those of us who have been in it are the fortunate ones but we understand that we probably don't deserve it as much as the nurses or teachers.
The entertainment business remains a business of blockbusters, and increasingly so.
People regard Yahoo as a platform for essential services, and it's had a profound impact on the way people obtain information, communicate, and their entertainment.
I don't think it's about entertainment. I think it's about being ourselves.
The sea was our main entertainment. When company came, we set them before it on rugs, with thermoses and sandwiches and colored umbrellas, as if the water - blue, green, gray, navy or silver as it might be - were enough to watch.
I am old enough to have grown up glued to a screen offering only three alternatives, each of which was an all-powerful national network that seemed permanently ensconced in the entertainment stratosphere.
A lot of news is just entertainment masquerading as news.
When I made the switch from strictly entertainment news to more of these natural world documentaries, it's really been all about wanting to make saving the world cool.
