When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.

Jumping through any hoop or taking advantage of any desperate situation that comes up just to sell a product is harmful. It is.

Sometimes you have to scare people to save their lives. But I'm very much against it if you're trying to sell a product.

If you want to capitulate to what commercial needs are, you can always be commercially valuable, but I'm not interested in being that.

Strangers shouldn't be allowed to take a picture of your child and sell it for profit.

If its not done ethically, advertising won't be trusted. If consumers don't trust it, advertising is pointless.

If government were a product, selling it would be illegal.

I'm opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it's plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity.

The most dangerous thing for a branded product is low interest.

If the government did a good job of publicizing this information, my products wouldn't sell.
