Hi, Billy Mays here for...

When I'm up against a wall, that's when Billy Mays performs best.

You know what, rip me off once, shame on me. But twice? I'm coming after you and taking back what's mine.

Before you throw it away, let Mighty Mendit save the day.

Broken! Busted! Everybody has something to repair. Before buying new, let Mighty Putty fix it for you.

I don't take on a product unless I believe in it. I use everything that I sell.

I enjoy what I do. I think it shows.

I love beautiful wood.

I'm a pitchman, my business comes from the pitch, nothing else.

I've done well for myself.

Is it demonstratable? Does it have that wow factor? Is it easy to use? Is it priced right?

It's a funny business. I kind of compare it to baseball. I'm always looking for a home run.

It's important for me to sell a product that works.

Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing.

Life's a pitch, then you buy.

Long live your laundry!

My voice, my likeness is my livelihood. That's it. I keep it simple. I pick good products.

One of the things that we hope to do with 'Pitchmen' is to give people an appreciation of what we do.

Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air.

The best things in life are free - and $19.95.

The infomercial business has been good to me.

The best things in life are free and 19.95.

What does it mean to be too black for Hollywood? It's self-explanatory. Hollywood has certain kinds of blacks that they like.

What's the good of a home, if you are never in it?

I like clean-cut, very proper, very elegant looks.

To travel is to live.

Each generation needs a 'Spider-Man' to mirror their angst.

It is my really sincere desire that we get an opportunity to play long enough for people to really grab on and become fans, because I think it's a great project.

Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.

I started in movies in Mexico and started doing telenovelas in Mexico. 'American Family' was the first thing I did in English.

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.

It is the desire of the good people of the whole country that sectionalism as a factor in our politics should disappear.

If we ever have free time, my partner and I are fond of going on walks through the local state forests and parks.

You know, I'm a really individualistic person. I'm extremely narcissistic and egocentric, too. So I have one life, and I have to live it the way I want.

I'm in competition with myself and I'm losing.

I know so many acting careers that are deliberately kickstarted by a publicist placing a bit of rubbish in a newspaper. And I don't want that. If someone recognises me, I want it to be because they've seen me in something, not because they have seen me at something.

When you live in the light of eternity your values change.

There are fast chewers and slow chewers, long chewers and short chewers, right-chewing people and left-chewing people. Some of us chew straight up and down, and others chew side-to-side, like cows. Your oral processing habits are a physiological fingerprint.

I'm really excited about furthering my film career in Bollywood and Hollywood.

I'm OK with procedural code, and the web is a top-down type of problem. It makes sense to me that you have HTML, you spit out a bunch of HTML, then you call a function to do something and then call another function.

Everything you try to do in life, of any value, people are going to be saying, 'No, no, no.' You have to have the ability to not see that or hear that.

I realized it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting.

Through transparency we expose corruption, but then there is no action taken against the corrupt.
