There’s still a place for someone to come up with a strong headline, some copy in a commercial that’s well written. I’m not saying it was better in the old days; it’s just a totally different way of communicating.
Industrial hemp is a safe substance with many practical commercial applications.
In the environment of the mobile Internet, there is value and need to explore every commercial context. What I care about is not just technology but the changes in people’s behavior in this environment, which makes it possible that everyone can get connected with everyone else.
I don’t want to be known as someone who is deliberately trying to do things that are not commercial! That is not a good reputation to have when you’re trying to be a working actor.
As you begin to create more destinations, that will naturally create a stronger economic pipeline for space. And just as we have been the leader of commercial air travel for the first century, as we look to the second century of aviation, I would expect Boeing to be the leader in both air and space travel.
The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don’t even mention the product until the very end. You don’t really know what the commercial is all about. They’re kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that’s why I think they’re so entertaining.
I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.
The whole reason Pinterest exists is to help people discover the things that they love and then go take action on them, and a lot of the things they take action on are tied to commercial intent.
So most of my acting experience came in college when I was living away from them. I acted in various independent films, and I got some commercial work and stuff like that.
Years of imprisoning and beheading writers never succeeded in shutting them out. However, placing them in the heart of a market and rewarding them with a lot of commercial success, has.
Sometimes you can do a TV show on a subject you just can’t do in film. Either it’s too long or studios will perceive it as not being commercial.
The association promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in any prior decisions.
I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.
I want to make something commercial that people can pick up on.
Maoris now own over half the commercial fishing industry in New Zealand.
The ISS operates as the ‘anchor customer’ in low earth orbit to support new commercial space services, including delivery of cargo and, before long, crew transportation services.
There’s only one barometer for the commercial success of a film and that’s the box office. The obsession with box office doesn’t annoy me. It’s the main part of the business, if you get irritated with the main part then you’re in trouble.
People are not the only interesting organism on earth. From the point of view of scientific or commercial value, there are lots of interesting organisms.
I feel like I was in the last graduating class of commercial actors.
Warhol’s images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn’t think about him a hell of a lot.
In many ways, I am very happy about the whole Linux commercial market because the commercial market is doing all these things that I have absolutely zero interest in doing myself.
For commercial books in a genre, readers’ and editors’ expectations may be fairly rigid. Some romance lines, for instance, issue fairly detailed writers’ guidelines explaining exactly what must happen in a book they publish (and what must not).
I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don’t see why a movie can’t make a lot of money and also be good.
I don’t know what’s in store for me, but I know that I want to create work, and I want to create an environment where I can bring in my favorite people and collaborate with them, and do something that is so much weirder and so different from what you’d see in commercial film.
All movies are pure process. A commercial movie isn’t less process than an art movie. You can’t make your decisions about a film on the basis of, ‘Is it important enough? Is it serious enough?’ It’s either alive or it’s not for me. If it’s alive, I want to do it.
While I remain troubled by the Corps’ inability to fully justify the Model they used for their commercial traffic predictions, America clearly has an aging lock and dam infrastructure on the Mississippi.
Commercial real estate is really a black box: its super opaque, and it’s hard to get the information.
The very first pharmaceutical commercial I ever heard was 15 seconds of the product and 45 seconds of side effects, so I know that this cannot be good for you.
I’ve always loved and enjoyed the theatre, but I have to say that none of our sponsorships have been done because I’m one of those chairmen and chief executives who goes gooey-eyed about something. They are done for a very specific marketing and commercial agenda.
We all know the Internet didn’t explode until it became a commercial enterprise. Space communication will probably have the same characteristic.
An established film director can just pick up the phone and say to a star, ‘Hey, are you interested in doing a commercial?’
I have a very commercial appetite. I don’t like to do high-brow things.
I think architects have a major role in being responsible for illustrating what the future could be. Because of the very strong political and commercial climate, many architects are trying very hard to solve everyday issues, to respond to the authorities.
The case for sponsorships in commercial spaceflight is compelling and could dramatically impact the economics of space tourism. Global brands are looking for fresh, new ways to position themselves on the leading edge of their categories.
Seriously, we are in the midst of the convergence of voice and data and that is challenging the infrastructure of the telephone companies. There are huge commercial interests in the basic technology, but even more so in content delivery and control of content.
I never saw anything funny in a car commercial – but that’s OK. Whatever they wanted to do – it’s their product and I’m the spokesperson, and I’m going to deliver.
It doesn’t matter if one is live on-air or sitting through a commercial break. There aren’t any on or off switches on a lapel pin microphone; it is always ‘hot.’
It bothers me when I hear it in a car commercial or some such. But for the most part, it’s better than seeing sacred music relegated to the scrap heap.
I presume that nobody will deny the positive aspects of the North American cultural world. These are well known to all. But these aspects do not make one forget the disastrous effects of the industrial and commercial process of ‘cultural lamination’ that the USA is perpetrating on the planet.
I’m scared to death to fly commercial… I have not flown commercial since 9/11.
When I was 5, I did a commercial for Whirlpool sitting on a tree stump eating a popsicle that dripped all over my clothes.
The challenge is to manage the Web in an open way-not too much bureaucracy, not subject to political or commercial pressures. The U.S. should demonstrate that it is prepared to share control with the world.
Dixie has just fallen to pieces. There are little patches of Dixie. But even in the heart of Dixie – in Alabama – Dixie is slipping. They’ve stopped using the word in commercial listings.
In Austin, you work in anything that will pay and a lot of things that don’t. The documentary filmmaker may also be a gaffer on a feature and producer for a commercial series and web host. Everyone just does a little bit of everything, and you have to because it’s a secondary market.
I was a big fan of ‘Blackadder,’ and my first commercial was directed by John Lloyd – I could have bored him for hours if I’d known he directed my favourite show!
When I was at drama school in the U.K., I was there for two and a half years, and we did one week of television and film. It’s right before you leave. It’s like, ‘We’ve taught you Chekhov and Shakespeare; you are likely to be in a washing-up soap-liquid commercial.’
Reading scripts or commercial copy isn’t a problem for me, so I can really focus on the acting instead of it being secondary.
What is overlooked is the astonishing amount of history Hollywood has got right… For better or worse, nothing has been more influential in shaping our visions of the past than the commercial cinema.
There are people that bring artists to me to look at it and it’s a question of whether I like their music and their look and if I think there’s something they have that makes them different and commercial.
I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films.
My brother was scouted for a commercial when he was three, and it was just because he could speak clearly and was well behaved, basically. I don’t think he had any amazing acting ability at that age – although he is actually a great actor.
