Adam Mansbach Quotes

I'm just an entertainer, man. I don't like to pigeonhole myself to anything. I love to do it all.

I never want to stick to one genre of movies and was opened to do everything.

I just love entertaining. I will do anything - stand-up comedy, video games, fencing, internet shorts - I just want to keep being lucky enough to entertain people anyway I can. I try never to limit my art to a medium.

I love doing comedy, and that's the thing I will always go back to, really, but I'd love to have the freedom to do sort of 'meaty' roles but also have the freedom to do the sort of films I want to make, like what Woody Allen does.

It's the transformation that drives me. I want to do it all and never want to be boxed into something as a particular type or style. I never want people to think they know me. I hope to build a repertoire that one can look at and say, from to role to role, 'Was that Brian Tee?'

I'm just not sticking to one thing. I like to have fun with it. I like to spread myself in many ways, so you're gonna get all types of music.

I'm an actor. I can't afford to have a type. I love to mix it up.
