Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that.

I don't feel I'm making a conscious effort to go more commercial.

I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.

You can feel how much money goes into commercials by how swiftly they act on your mind. And they've got, like, a hypnotic quality to the way they present their products.

I think that commercials can really ruin a song. You know that the person sold the song for a good deal of money, and that was the tradeoff. But, music and picture can marry in a beautiful way, and the reverse also.

So many things for me are unfortunate in the commercialization of something that is special. It's like when Led Zeppelin appears in Cadillac commercials. There's something that is taken away from your love of this thing and your connection to it.

Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.

Well, that's the secret of commerciality, a simple style and you stick with it.

I turned down a lot of things that were so-called commercial. You're coming out of one film, and then they want you to be in the same one.

I think it would be a good thing in the creative community if there was less embarrassment of this word 'commercial' because that's how you make a business.
