I love Michael Bay movies. I don’t think I’d be selling out if I did one. I happen to like his movies. I think selling out is doing something you don’t believe in, and you’re doing it for a selfish purpose.
For scientists, growing cells took so much work that they couldn’t get much research done. So the selling of cells was really just for the sake of science, and there weren’t a lot of profits.
It’s so funny because if you tweet your lyrics and then you hear it in a song next week, you’re like, ‘Hey I had that same idea.’ I’m very secretive with my music. We have to send emails password protected. Because once that song gets out, you aren’t selling that thing.
Secular thinkers have a separation between thinking and doing. They don’t have a grasp of the balance sheet. The doers are selling us potted plants and pizzas while the thinkers are a little bit unworldly. Religions both think and do.
I have to have an emotional connection to what I am ultimately selling because it is emotion, whether you are selling religion, politics, even a breath mint.
I was working at Talesai, which is a Thai restaurant on Sunset. I actually worked there through selling my first script.
I observed a man sourcing candle wax from South America and selling it to Japan. I thought: ‘That’s unbelievable. Talking on the phone in his office, that man made money moving candle wax from one country to another.’ It really interested me.
I will always choose the dollar bill carrying a wildly fluctuating discount rather than the dollar bill selling for a quite stable premium.
Some bailiffs were tacking on extra charges left, right and centre – a fee for every letter they sent, extra fees for visiting your house, for clamping your car, seizing it, towing it and selling it. It all stacked up and people in debt had no choice but to pay. We have put an end to this.
Anyone with the right mix of parental paranoia and entrepreneurial moxie can make a fortune by selling parents the equipment we think will keep us one step ahead of our kids.
My dreams as a kid were so far below the Grammys, like, maybe selling out a show, or, like, seeing your album on a shelf in an Urban Outfitters… and the Grammys are so far above that. It’s very ridiculous.
I don’t think you’re selling out by allowing the masses to love your art. The only curse is that, when you get so big, sometimes people forget to look at the music.
Actually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.
When I think of the artists I admire and seek out musically. It’s because I’m curious about where they’re going to go the next time they have a chance to put a record out. It’s not about where I find them on the radio dial, or how many records they’re selling.
If any female – or male – does something in order to get ‘likes’ on their video or to get fans, they’re being exploited, and they’re actually selling out to a certain extent.
Advertisers don’t want to be ignored, and they are drunk on our data, which is what Google and other large networks are really selling. The ads are almost a by-product; what companies really want to know is what antiperspirant a woman of 25-34 is most likely to purchase after watching ‘House of Cards.’
I understand reform to mean the perfection of what previous generations have already done. I’m not an advocate of destroying, ‘kroshat,’ and then selling like they do in Russia. That’s how we can prevent the wild corruption in our state like they have in the other post-Soviet states.
And I also think it’s a violin when you’re selling it and a fiddle when you’re buying it.
Before I go on selling the joy of working with your spouse, I should make something clear: Although we have a great marriage, it is as trying as anyone’s.

I buy when other people are selling.
I could never say that I wouldn’t consider selling the Knicks.
I’ve played a Nintendo Wii. I don’t see it as a competitor. It’s more of an expensive niche game device. We’re selling a lot of PlayStation 3s now and it’s still the best way to buy a Blu-ray player.
I care less about selling tickets and getting Twitter followers than I do about making as many people laugh as I can. I’d rather make people laugh than make them know who T.J. Miller is.
Hair in the black community is such a big thing culturally. The barbershop is a place for black men to socialise, catch up and bond. It’s the same for black women in the salon. Going there is my favourite thing to do in the week. You catch up with people, someone comes around with food, someone else is selling something.
Aleta St. James is an internationally renowned energy healer, life coach, best selling author, and more. Aleta does private sessions to release old resistance and shift out of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, addictions, infertility, and insecurity at a cellular level.
When I’m talking about a product, before it was a product, it was in my brain. So if I have an inspiration, I will literally get up in the middle of the night, and I’ll dream about my customer… I don’t feel like it’s selling. I feel like it’s talking about my children.
If you’re selling t-shirts as a heel – you’re selling them – then you’ve failed miserably.
I have a Mercedes. I wear a Rolex watch. I have no problem with the selling of things.
Bands like – even Kiss to a degree – bands like Kiss and Motley, Ratt, Poison, Bon Jovi – I just think the days of those bands going out and selling ten or twelve, fifteen million records like they used to do back in the day, it’s not happening.
These parks are our life’s work, not the clothing chains we created, selling people clothes they don’t need.
Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn’t like selling products I didn’t believe in.
When you realize my best selling books are ‘Owl Moon,’ the ‘How Do Dinosaur’ books, and ‘Devil’s Arithmetic,’ how can the public make sense of that! I have fans who think I only write picture books or only write SF and fantasy. I have fanatics of my poetry and are stunned to find out I write prose, too!
When no one’s buying your records, it’s easy to justify selling a song. But once you start selling records, you can’t really justify having two songs in Cadillac commercials. It looks greedy. And it is greedy. This whole music thing should be about music.
Selling music doesn’t make that much money.
Selling another 10 million albums is not a priority. Putting out something you’re proud of is.
I did commercials since I was 16, and that’s kind of acting, depending on what you’re selling.
We have a generation of women who think that they can just have IVF, and everything will be fine. The odds are against you once you start having IVF, and the odds are against you over the age of 35. And to pretend that it’s easy to have a baby in your 40s or 50s is – it’s just selling women a false dream.
Scarcity is a good sales tactic if you are selling something people want.
How many women’s football matches are selling out week in, week out, 20,000 plus? They’re not.

Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up.
Marketing is fundamental to what makes us human. Marketing is not solely about selling chewing gum, cars, cellphones, and tourist packages. Everything in life involves the process of marketing something to someone.
To me, the most important selling point of ‘Roswell’ was that the audience has to believe in the characters they’re watching.
When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.
Everyone lives by selling something.
I’m just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy.
Selling a movie feels like a hustle to every bone in my body. Many actors have careers dominated by modeling. They’re all over the place. It turns me off. People who are good at what they do ought to practice something bigger.
When Xscape came back together for a tour in 2017, and all of our shows were selling out, it made me miss being on stage and producing music on a regular basis. That’s what I did for most of my life.
When I started doing pro wrestling, it wasn’t the physical aspect doing the moves or taking the moves that was hard: it was interacting with the crowd, body movement, selling, getting that emotional attachment with people so they’re invested in a match. That was the hard part.
I knew I was doing something right because it was selling so I didn’t want to interfere with it.
During the boom years of the 1990s, globalization emerged as the most significant development in our national life. With NAFTA and the Internet and big-box stores selling cheap goods from China, the line between national and international began to blur.
I DJ’d for years. I DJ’d in high school, and I think my parents thought it was a passing thing. And then when I was in my second year of college, I was like, ‘Yeah, you guys don’t need to send me money anymore. My DJ gigs are good enough. I’m selling music; I think I’m gonna have a record deal. I can pay my tuition.’
