Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.

The most important thing about power is to make sure you don't have to use it.

Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.

Science is a method to keep yourself from kidding yourself.

Any problem can be solved using the materials in the room.

Every creative act is a sudden cessation of stupidity.

Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.

Politeness is the poison of collaboration.

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don't think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps.

Its not that we need new ideas, but we need to stop having old ideas.

It's not that we need new ideas, but we need to stop having old ideas.

This is the most exciting part of being human. It is using our brains in the highest way. Otherwise we are just healthy animals

[A Polaroid camera] places before you a thing that is more of the thing than the thing was.

My personal philosophy is not to undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

You cannot separate the composition from the life of the moment. It is all one thing, to be decided in a split second while you're living through it.

The bottom line is that these athletes tend to be safer investments because they really value their marketing opportunities. They don't make as much money as during their active careers.

I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don't understand.

I've been careful to keep my life separate because it's important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. I'm worth more than that.

When you're in the car, how well you do is down to you and you alone-no band, no management, no marketing.

But the business side of it, as with most creative things, there is no room for business. It is about art. It's not about marketing.

Google actually relies on our users to help with our marketing. We have a very high percentage of our users who often tell others about our search engine.

Programmers and marketing people know how to get into your subconscious - they spend millions of dollars researching colors, shapes, designs, symbols, that affect your preferences, and they can make you feel warm, trusting, like buying. They can manipulate you.

We also had good software in the key categories and more focus on the gameplaying capability, so more of the marketing effort was targeted at game customers.

There has never been any proper commitment to marketing these artists and their music. We are not Sony.

I chose Sony Classics, not just because of their practical experience, not just because of their wisdom in marketing, but mainly because of their integrity.

There is probably a perverse pride in my administration... that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who's occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can't be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.

I do not believe in censorship, but I believe we already have censorship in what is called marketing theory, namely the only information we get in mainstream media is for profit.

My relationship with Music Row has always been, from my end, optimistic and hopeful that there is more than one way to approach the writing, recording, and marketing of an album.

Marketing is a very good thing, but it shouldn't control everything. It should be the tool, not that which dictates.

Firms need to ensure that their ability to provide effective customer service keeps pace with their growth. If you're marketing your firm to new customers, you better be able to provide them service when they do business with you.

Marketing is too important to be left to the marketing department.

There's nothing remotely interesting to me about marketing music as a product.

Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation.

Internal marketing is probably much more important than external marketing. That's even more true today than it's ever been.

I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.

I don't need somebody behind a desk to tell me what a marketing survey says is funny. I got 3 million miles and 70,000 tickets sold, telling me that I know how to make people laugh.

There are certain people who have become better artists, but they're brilliant at marketing. I think someone who's been phenomenal like that is Madonna.

I avoid clients for whom advertising is only a marginal factor in their marketing mix. They have an awkward tendency to raid their advertising appropriations whenever they need cash for other purposes.

The ultimate test of a finished account executive is his ability to write a sound marketing plan.

I had a marketing idea that everybody hated, decency is sexy.

Home base is the support system where we have a culinary team, my own writers because of the shows and the books and stuff, we have a culinary team of about six people. Marketing, public relations, accounting and all that sort of stuff.

I just believe that the cost of marketing is going to increase and the cost of delivery is going to decrease as the Net gets stronger and mass media gets weaker.

In marketing I've seen only one strategy that can't miss - and that is to market to your best customers first, your best prospects second and the rest of the world last.

What can we say about a marketing culture that so openly feeds and colludes with obsession? The Disney empire has developed this to an unprecedented degree of professionalism.

Any real record person knows that the number one most powerful marketing tool when it comes to music is repetition.

In the past the publishers I've worked with have been extremely generous. And in almost every case, have been people who believed in the work rather than the sales and marketing.

Marketing is the devil.
