Charlie Rose is the ultimate ad.

The intellectual architecture means focusing on doing great work instead of focusing on agency politics.

The team architecture means setting up an organization that helps people produce that great work in teams.

Second, we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM.

I can't say the advertising model is obsolete yet but it doesn't make a lot of sense in the long range.

Research we've done seems to indicate that people who are on the Net like the idea that they don't have to leave what they are reading to go buy something.

I like the Gap ad, the khaki one. I liked that.

We set up a beta site, a test site, with movie, music and book reviews. If you're reading them and you want to buy a book or a ticket for a movie that's reviewed on the site, you can do that without leaving our site.

One is that that's the way we started and we thought there would be more value and less confusion if the business model was just based on delivering news that's of value to Web sites.

Eighty percent of what everyone's talking about never happens. I don't mean in terms of product development that's happening right now, I'm talking about the far-flung visions of the future.

You come to work because the office is a resource: The office is a place where you can meet with other people, and the office has libraries of books and information on CD-ROM that might help you with your work.

Transferring successfully to the next generation means producing work that's as good as or better than the work of the first generation that founded the agency.

Advertising ought to work by telling you what it is you want to tell, you should understand what you want us to do, what you want us to think, where you want us to shop.

In the '20s they were telling us wed all have our own private plane and take vacations to the moon.

If you really think about it, when watching television, you have product placement all the time.

It's hard to build a brand, competitively, and tell people what you do as well.

Charlie Rose is the ultimate ad.

Technology is the fashion of the '90s. It affects everyone, and everyone is interested in it - either from fear of being left behind or because they have a real need to use technology.

Fire has impacted every part of our lives - without fire, there would be no shopping, right? - that's how the Internet will intrude on our lives, particularly our kids' lives.

Our technology is very scalable. Our software can accommodate enormous numbers of clients. It's a marvelous opportunity. We'll keep developing products.

Outside of advertising, the person who's influenced me most is quite possibly Frank Gehry.

We don't have titles on our business cards. No one really gets any special treatment. No one gets a corner office to put pictures of their family and their dog in.

But I think technology advertising will have to stop addressing how products are made and concentrate more on what a product will do for the consumer.

Taking risks gives me energy.

First, this isn't about telecommuting, because we still have offices that people will come to regularly when they need to brainstorm together, meet with clients, or do research in the library.

In the '20s they were telling us we'd all have our own private plane and take vacations to the moon.

Today, among little girls especially, princesses and the romanticised ideal they represent - finding the man of your dreams - have a limited shelf life.

2014 was a year of intense social upheaval. In truth, the same could be said for most every year. There is no standstill in a world filled with so many people, scrambling for so much.

It really is a day job, and it also seems to have virtually disappeared-with no remorse, really. It gives me more time to paint.

In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.

Acceptance of the power of God in one's life lays the groundwork for personal commitment to both science and Christianity, which so often have been in conflict.

If I was a girl again I would like to be like my fans I would like to be like Madonna.

When literature exists, perhaps we do not notice how important it is, but when it does not exist, our lives become coarsened and brutal. For this reason, I am proud of my profession, but also aware of its importance.

I wrote a great deal about the Civil Rights Movement when I was writing for 'The Nation' in the '60s, and also for Esquire magazine. Reading the biography of Coffin, it just reminded me that in those days, when you saw the term 'Christian,' it usually meant people for civil rights and for justice.

Like, my mother would have company over, and I would sing so they'd pay attention to me.

From each according to his faculties; to each according to his needs.

I think fiction, for me, is a way of trying to understand why people do the things they do - and trying to explain what is, at heart, illogical.

It's not really a guilty pleasure, but I love old cartoons. I could watch Bugs Bunny and Tweety all day long.

I went out with this boy on the proviso that he didn't tell anybody we were together. The idiot didn't keep his mouth shut. I dumped him. I never went out with a boy from school again.

Dieting isn't complicated: if you eat 2,000 calories, you have to burn it off; simple as that.

I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.

What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.

My mother, a teacher, encouraged me to use my creativity as an actual way to make a living, and my father, a Mississippi physician, did two things. First, he taught me that all human beings should be treated equally because no one is better than anyone else, and he never pressured me to become a doctor.

I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.

Ideas rose in clouds; I felt them collide until pairs interlocked, so to speak, making a stable combination.

I put the words down and push them a bit.

In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated.

Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.

'Blind Date' was based on an Australian show called 'Perfect Match', which I first saw when I was on tour there. And I couldn't understand why it wasn't on British T.V.
