Neoclassical economics insists that advertising cannot force consumers to buy anything they don't already want to buy.
[My father did] advertising. That's why I got into this business. I think because we're really boxes of soap - actors and singers. You're artists, but in the public eye it's a matter of advertising.
People love advertising in particular but they hate advertising in general.
I always say it took me 10 minutes to write 'Cars,' but if I am honest it could have been even less than that - and it has been a really successful song over the years. It is still massively used, in advertising, in films, and people do cover versions of it a lot.
I'm slightly ambivalent to the whole relationship between the whole advertising world and music. I think sometimes it works and sometimes it's a really bad mismatch. I think on this occasion its fine because the iPod is like your own mini-library and that can't be a bad thing. It promotes eclecticism and that's very much what we are about so it's a good relationship.

The vocation of each writer is to describe the world as he or she sees it; anything more than that is advertising.
Any time an investment company has to spend heavily on advertising, it's probably a bad business in which to invest.
Hillary Clinton is spending hundreds of millions of dollars. I mean, tremendous vast amounts of money in advertising against me.
I love the way the American trade magazines never give anybody a bad review because they're afraid the advertising will be taken out. It's so hysterical.
It's smart to be thrifty.
The engine of ancient society was religion but the engine of contemporary society, as I see it, is advertising.
Sanely applied advertising could remake the world.
In general, advertising isn't a "creative" atmosphere. It's a business atmosphere and your job is puzzle solving. My favorite aspect of the business, I guess, was presenting to clients. What I enjoyed least were the clients. Worried corporate brand managers, trying to dumb-down their ads for the stupid American population. I hated the disrespect that these people had for "consumers.
