I don't worry too much about the script, I just ad lib, like Pearl Bailey.
Mahalia Jackson

I got so I simply gagged everytime I sat before my desk to write an ad.
Hart Crane

I have learned that any fool can write a bad ad, but that it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one.
Leo Burnett

I have learned that it is far easier to write a speech about good advertising than it is to write a good ad.
Leo Burnett

I just did an ad with Microsoft. I'm dressed as Napoleon, and I get to slap Bill Gates.
Jon Heder

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

I personally felt that his ad hominen attacks on British architects were not the sort of thing a Prince of Wales should be doing because, apart from anything else, they put various people out of business.
Anthony Holden

I regard a great ad as the most beautiful thing in the world.
Leo Burnett

I've been giving interviews for the last 25 or 30 years, more often than not answering the same questions over and over again, ad nauseum.
Boyd Rice

I've learned any fool can write a bad ad, but it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one.
Daniel J. Boorstin

If an ad campaign is built around a weak idea - or as is so often the case, no idea at all - I don't give a damn how good the execution is, it's going to fail.
Morris Hite

Leo Burnett

If you have a good selling idea, your secretary can write your ad for you.
Morris Hite

In the year and a half I was on SNL, I never saw anybody ad lib anything. For a very good reason - the director cut according to the script. So, if you ad libbed, you'd be off mike and off camera.
Harry Shearer

It is not the purpose of the ad or commercial to make the reader or listener say, 'My what a clever ad.' It is the purpose of advertising to make the reader say, 'I believe I'll buy one when I'm shopping tomorrow'.
Morris Hite

It takes good clients to make a good advertising agency. Regardless of how much talent an ad agency may have, it is ineffective without good products and services to advertise.
Morris Hite

Just because your ad looks good is no insurance that it will get looked at. How many people do you know who are impeccably groomed... but dull?
William Bernbach

Man is a means and not an end, and he is a means to economic or political ends which are not really ends in themselves but means to other ends which in their turn are means and so ad infinitum.
Christopher Dawson

Microsoft was not a mysterious, strange entity. You put your PC on and there's an ad for them.
Jim Cramer

My first acting job happened by accident when I was really young. I was in fifth grade and my teacher saw an ad in the paper and took me to the audition after school and I got the part.
