A magazine is simply a device to induce people to read advertising.

The interesting thing about advertising is that the things that annoy us sometimes about it are really human. It's us looking at ourselves - and like all human endeavors it's imperfect.

I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.

Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.

Magazines and advertising are flogging the idea that you have to keep changing things and get something new. I think that's balls - evil. But obviously that's your livelihood.

When you think about advertisements, it makes sense that they want to hold and retain our attention.

When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they're gonna buy it. Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic.

Early on, I found the attention completely embarrassing. I'd cringe if I saw my picture on the cover of a magazine.

Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.

There's so much truly putrid advertising out there it's embarrassing. But not all advertising is bad. Some of it is really quite mediocre.
