I tried to do the commercial thing. But I don't want to keep shoving Twinkies down everyone's throat. People are hungry for something of more substance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did a lot of commercials early on, and I remember the first commercial I ever got was for a product called Funyuns. I had to eat these chips for, like, 12 hours straight.
I loved cutting together simple commercials about margarine or soft drinks - all kinds of silly products - but I tried to make the commercials different.
I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.
Candy bar companies, through commercials, have tied their products to low-energy cues, transforming what was once a dessert into a pick-me-up for cubicle dwellers.
I have done a Hamburger Helper commercial, a Hardees commercial, a McDonalds commercial. American Express commercial.
Twinkies are more natural than most TV-interview shows.
I want to make something commercial that people can pick up on.
When I was in college in Chicago, I was doing a lot of commercials - that was my bread and butter.
I don't think I'll be doing a lot more commercials.
I don't feel I'm making a conscious effort to go more commercial.
