Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People read things into my commercials that don't even exist.
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.
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'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.
I started as a teenager going up on commercials.
The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don't even mention the product until the very end. You don't really know what the commercial is all about. They're kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that's why I think they're so entertaining.
Philosophically, I don't like doing commercials.
I love commercials.
Commercials capture your attention, that's all.
I loved cutting together simple commercials about margarine or soft drinks - all kinds of silly products - but I tried to make the commercials different.
