The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams and hopes. Its 'product' cannot be turned out on an assembly line.

When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.

Don’t tell me how good you make it; tell me how good it makes me when I use it.

Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read.

What helps people, helps business.

If you don't get noticed, you don't have anything. You just have to be noticed, but the art is in getting noticed naturally, without screaming or without tricks.

Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink.

Products are made in the factory, but brands are created in the mind.

Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business.

I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.

Advertising says to people, 'Here's what we've got. Here's what it will do for you. Here's how to get it.'

You listen to people, you listen so deeply that you can hear their past lives, The crackle of their funeral pyres,

While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

I do believe that billionaires and multi-millionaires should be paying more in taxes.

One is also reminded of how, in art, the tortoise so often overtakes the hare.

Faith is the ticket to the feast, not the feast.

I'm half Scotch-Irish on both sides, and when I lose my temper-brother, I go.

When I am on set or rehearsing for the play, the only thing I can talk about is the work I'm doing. In that way, I home in on what I am doing at the time. So maybe I am a terrible multitasker.

I suppose everything is bound to look different when you aren't on your way to die.

Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.
