I started making music with my band in the ’80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.
I don’t believe in endorsing a product that you don’t want to endorse.
Personality is less a finished product than a transitive process. While it has some stable features, it is at the same time continually undergoing change.

I love the way in which I make up dances. It’s a complicated way and the product is usually clear. Clear and simple. I don’t need everybody to know that there are all of these fabulous things going on. If you CAN see it, that’s wonderful.
Being an independent inventor is tough. You develop a product, patent it, then you’re looking for someone who will see the benefit from this technology. You assume all the investment and all the risk. It can be a challenge.

I like the dueling club scene, where Daniel and I fight with our wands. I thought it was a brilliant scene to shoot. I think the end product looked really good.
Brand is not a product, that’s for sure; it’s not one item. It’s an idea, it’s a theory, it’s a meaning, it’s how you carry yourself. It’s aspirational, it’s inspirational.
The product of the scientific imagination is a new vision of relations – like that of artistic imagination.
Our democracy is not a product but a continual process. It is preserved not by monuments but deeds. Sometimes it needs refining; sometimes it needs amending; sometimes it needs defending. Always, it needs improving.

There’s nothing spectacular about Prophet T.B Joshua. He is just like every other human being. But if there is any difference, it is the grace of God; the righteousness of God. It is a product of the grace of God. So, I am a product of the grace of God.
Can you say that in 20 years people would still use the iPhone? Maybe not. Maybe we’d have a new product or something more innovative. What I can say today is that, in 20 years, I’m quite convinced that people will still drink Dom Perignon.
I rarely use product in my hair, and when I do I have no idea which ones, nor does it matter all that much to me. And I can’t remember the last time I even used a comb, much less carried one around.

Everybody’s doing it. In capitalism, you try to get the highest price you can for a product.
Starting a business and building a product are not for the faint of heart. You have to learn to not let little disappointments get you down and to stay focused on the big picture.
The product of extraordinary wealth allied to a taste for the sumptuous.
Every day the eye is subject to a thousand tiny shocks as a thousand industries compete for the eye-kick, the visual hook that will lock the consumer into product for that crucial second where the tiny – or not so tiny – leap of the imagination is made.
Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.
The way you communicate an idea is different than the way you communicate a product.
I think a lot of self-importance is a product of fear. And fear, living in sort of an un-self-examined fear-based life, tends to lead to narcissism and self-importance.

I think a beautiful product that doesn’t work very well is ugly.
Our job is to sell our clients’ merchandise… not ourselves. Our job is to kill the cleverness that makes us shine instead of the product. Our job is to simplify, to tear away the unrelated, to pluck out the weeds that are smothering the product message.
The by-product is sometimes more valuable than the product.
My passion is creating and marketing. That’s what I’m really, really good at, and that’s what I find the most stimulating for my brain to work on, so that’s what I really, really want to do as opposed to product creation.
