“I think people need entertaining, and they like being entertained. Tha...” — Martin Clunes Quote

I think people need entertaining, and they like being entertained. That's all I do. I don't do anything important; I just work in entertainment.

My earliest memory is a picnic in the park near our house, which was next to Wimbledon Common. Why on earth we went to a park when we lived so near the common is a mystery, but it had formal gardens and lawns - perhaps it was that very difference that took my parents there.

When people asked me, 'What are you going to do?' I'd say, 'I'm going to be an actor,' without really thinking about it. And I started acting without really thinking about it. I only thought about it properly a bit later.

In a way, making Martin Ellingham the way he is was a corrective exercise for my acting - to keep a bit still and show a little control. I do like it - it's like having an instrument that you can play and that you can pick up and enjoy playing.

Enjoy the films I do, get entertained, get your money's worth, and when you leave the theatre, leave it all behind!

Listening to people keeps them entertained.

If a song is longer than three and a half minutes, it'll need something to keep you entertained.

Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

If you were black, you experienced prejudice. It wasn't a real horrible thing for us; we went through it. We noticed it mostly in the South and in Las Vegas, where we couldn't stay in the hotels where we entertained. But that began to change.
