I worry more about the marketing that's taken hold since the 70s. The Jazz era, the Swing era, those were huge. Entire decades were named for music.

Guy KawasakiMobile communications have two functions: as a safety net, and as a marketing tool. I think it'd be foolish to not carry one for safety sake.

The marketing spills over the border, and people are persuaded to eat food that's bad for them, more in rich countries than in poor ones. I was traveling the world.

Raj PatelEverybody is not going to be squeaky clean. All the guys they are giving these marketing endorsement deals are the ones going out there getting in trouble.

You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.

Sonu NigamYou have more and more people coming into the tent with the creative guys [on Hollywood films]. You have marketing and concept testers, advertising people.

Rick SpringfieldMarketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that's everywhere around the world.

David F. HoustonMuch of the way books get classified has to do with marketing decisions. I think it's more useful to think of literary books and sci-fi/fantasy books as existing on a continuum. To oppose them, to suggest that one category excludes the other, always feels bogus to me. The great Leonard Michaels line is "I wanted proximity to darkness, strangeness"? That's what I'd say I want from a book, regardless of where it falls on the fantastical spectrum - that suspense connected to a particular human character, rather than just some mechanized plot.
