It doesn't fit the way they think. It doesn't fit the way they live.
John AvlonI think the more important task for a young person than developing a personal brand is figuring out what she's great at, what she loves to do, and how she can use that to leave an imprint in the world.

Gabriel LunaI think sometimes you get too caught up in the business side, and you make compromises, and then the brand becomes unexciting. I think in the early stages you have to be bold.

Snoop DoggI've done four videos for older people under my new brand, Prime Time, and the missing link was yoga. I'm aiming it for older people - people who have never worked out or who are recovering from a surgery and have to start slow. It's easy, you can't get hurt, it's very doable, and I've done it in ten-minute segments.
Jane FondaWhat would be a perfect day for me? I'd like to fly the Millennium Falcon to a small cafรฉ outside of Vienna, and there's a PlayStation 3 or an XBox set up there.

Oh, and pork is being fed to us all day.
Joel McHaleFirst of all, when building a brand you have to know who you are, what you are, and what you stand for. That's clichรฉd marketing-bullshit jargon, but it does matter. It helps. You have to know who you're targeting. I think too many people fight the market. There are certain people who are never going to want your stuff no matter what you do. There are certain people are never going to love me because I curse and I have bravado and I'm a Jersey boy and I'm brash and they won't take the time to see the humility and the patience and the truth. They shouldn't.

Nathaniel HawthorneNot the shadow of a doubt crossed my mind of the purpose for which the Count had left the theatre. His escape from us, that evening, was beyond all question the preliminary only to his escape from London. The mark of the Brotherhood was on his arm-I felt as certain of it as if he had shown me the brand; and the betrayal of the Brotherhood was on his conscience-I had seen it in his recognition of Pesca.

Michael FassbenderIt's a great honour to be part of such an iconic brand as Paco Rabanne. It was totally different for me, so it was quite challenging in a sense, but it's an experience that I'm really enjoying. It's been just over a year and a half now. I'm really enjoying it and hopefully it will continue for a fair bit into the future.
