“It's responsible for the sloppiness and imprecision of the War on Terror, for example. It's responsible for taking people's tax dollars and spending the country into debt on useless wars and pointless pork projects to buy votes. It's responsible for bailing out the banks instead of standing up for the people the banks cheated. It's responsible for plenty.” PeopleWarCountryExampleTaxesProjectsStandingVoteResponsibleDollarsTerrorDebtSpendingPlentyUselessPointlessCheatedWar On TerrorPorkTax DollarsBailing OutSloppiness Author:Timothy Hallinan
“American girls are much more financially savvy - for example, if a girl went to Paris and she was going to do a fragrance campaign, she would say she wouldn't do it for less than half-a-million dollars. Whereas a girl from the Czech Republic would do it for $100,000. I think that's a really big imbalance that created the demise of the modeling industry - and it also created a gap in giving girls an opportunity to become or gain super-status.” IfsThinkingGivingBigsGirlOpportunityHalfMillionsExampleIndustryGainsDollarsCampaignsParisGapsRepublicFragranceModelingMillion DollarsDemiseImbalanceSavvyCzechCzech RepublicModeling Industry Author:Michael Flutie
“I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive. People love to read stories. They like to know you as a real person who has your struggle, pain, success and failure, etc. One well-known example is Jared Fogle's weight loss story which made millions of dollars for Subway.

“There is no excuse for a billion dollar industry to have somebody who's pushing papers on an administrative level - which is still very important in terms of getting projects done - it's imbalanced and completely illogical and example of how badly this art form has been rapped... for them niggas to have health care benefits but for themselves to share in no part to that?

“I think his portraits of Jackie, Liz, Marilyn, Mao, Elvis, Lenin - and objects like the soup cans, the dollar signs, the hammer and sickle, it's all about icons. Its all about what people worship in an irreligious or secular world. In terms of Andy's personality and Andy Warhol as a human being who I was very close to, I still feel kind of sorry for him on a personal level. I mean, he was the ultimate example of great success wrapped around inner turmoil and emotional pain.” PeopleThinkingWorldFeelsHumansKindMeanStillsPainTermHuman BeingsLevelsExampleObjectsEmotionalPersonalityWorshipUltimateDollarsSorrySecularPortraitsSoupHammersIconsTurmoilEmotional PainGreat SuccessJackieMaoWarholLizSorry For Him Author:Bob Colacello
“Most major domestic programs got more money this year, and they're used to reflect the priorities of the upcoming year.
