My mom put me in a Pampers commercial on TV.

I was almost 8 years old when I was watching a kid on a TV commercial and I told my mom that I wanted to do the same thing. She said that I would need to get an agent and that she would research it.

A guy is a lump like a doughnut. So first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite the male ego.

Of all the creative work produced by humans anywhere a tiny fraction has continuing commercial value. For that tiny fraction the copyright is a crucially important legal device.

Someone once said that history has more imagination than all the scenario writers in the Pentagon and we have a lot of scenario writers here. No one ever wrote a scenario for commercial airliners crashing into the World Trade Center.

It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.

I was from such a large family that when I first met my wife I told her: 'You can go work outside of the house and I'll stay home and continue making my cartoon strips. Maybe I'll make some commercials nearby you know I'll do anything locally but I would love to just stay at home and raise the kids like I did when I was growing up.'

Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind.

A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials including one for MCI. You can only see half of me but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.

Most sermons sound to me like commercials - but I can't make out whether God is the Sponsor or the Product.
