Martin Scorsese

Good, Alone, Past

It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.
John le Carre

Lonely, Away, Rather

Simon Mainwaring

Powerful, Rather, Personal

Family, Through, Friends

Advertising works most effectively when it's in line with what people are already trying to do.
