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.

There can never be such a thing as a free market because it is human nature to cheat monopolize and buy off others so as to corner the market.

The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.

I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. It's simply a market chart.

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.

It's too expensive that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

I have worked on very good movies that have been buried and I've worked on some resounding mediocrities that have been paraded through the marketplace like they were masterpieces.

I would be too selfish if I said everyone should see my movies more than once. To say that would mean I'm just marketing my work!
