The question for me was, could TV actually teach? I knew it could, because I knew 3-year-olds who sang beer commercials!
You can't watch 'Dr. Strangelove' with commercials. That would be sacrilegious.
I thought if I could be a model, or even do commercials and stuff like that for the rest of my life, I’d be happy.
His dreams are like commercials.
Commercials are so contemporary and up to date that when you're involved in that visual world, you can't really go backwards.
I travel a lot to promote the perfumes and to do the commercials.
Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.
I skip through the programming to watch the commercials.
The publishers and others should quit worrying about losing customers to TV. The guy who can sit through a trio of deodorant commercials to look at Flashgun Casey or swallow a flock of beer and loan-shark spiels in order to watch a couple of fourth-rate club fighters rub noses on the ropes is not losing any time from book reading.
I spent a long time trying to make it in the commercial world hoping that commercials would then lead to movies. That was a less-travelled path at the time, although it's very well-travelled now.
If the networks can get audiences to tolerate pop-up promos by the dozens, maybe they'll start selling pop-up commercials, too.
It was a lot of fun doing the Nike commercials, too.
I do Sierra Mist commercials not because they pay me a lot of money or because it only takes a couple of days. I do it because I have a respect for all sodas and I like to communicate that. Some people say soda, some people say pop, where I'm from in Indiana they called it breakfast.
If heartaches was commercials, we'd all be on TV.
Only about half of all commercials actually work.
Philosophically, I don't like doing commercials.
I did tons of theater in school, and then when I was 16 and got my driver's license, I started driving to Los Angeles, along with my friend Eric Stoltz, who was a year ahead of me and was doing the same thing. So we had the same manager, and we started auditioning for things and doing commercials when we were 16.
I've been working with music videos and commercials, they are naturally very music driven and visual driven. So that feels like my natural element to be working with that.
I've also been known to cry during MasterCard commercials.
I started modeling, doing the Sears catalog kind of thing, then did a lot of commercials when I was growing up.
