Quotes

Mark Atkinson

  • I just think people also have to realize that this is indeed a business, I mean... It is called Show Business... Without the business, there is no show. It's not Show Art.
  • I am of a generation I like to call "The VCR/DVD Generation", somewhere between Gen X and The Millennials, which are kids who grew up in the mid-80's to late 90's watching movies on VCRs and DVDs. I truly believe those were the best years for movies, especially comedies, or perhaps they were just the best years... Period.
  • I always try to make it a point and correct people when they try to call me an "artist" and say... "I'm not an artist... I'm an entertainer." Then they'll say "Well, what's the difference?" To this, I say, "Entertainers are performers... Artists are pretentious."
  • I guess what I want the world to know about me or my brand is... Well... That I exist. And if I make some people laugh along the way then I've done my job.
  • Film is the most collaborative art so surround yourself with good, talented, experienced, positive people. And most importantly... Don't be a dick!
  • Remember, fear and hatred divides... Laughter unites!
