Businessman

The Hamptons are filled with people who are winners Monday through Friday.

I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and I'm a great believer that you can't have too conservative a President nor too liberal a Supreme Court. So I'm a walking contradiction. I believe that you should try to really protect people's rights in every way, and also, people should be allowed to do what they do.

With all my outside activities, I have to remind people I am really in advertising.

I'm careful to pay every single penny on my taxes. I don't have any money offshore.

Humor works, and it's the best way to get attention without spending a lot of money.

As long as the attitude is to only show the sheet metal, then automobile advertising will continue to be wretched.

Imagine there wasn't photography. Where would we be? How would I remember what I looked like as a kid? It links us all. It keeps us all together; it's what our history is.

Pictures bring you inside, whether you see yourself driving a new car or as a hapless prisoner who is being abused.

I was the first advertising person who people could identify with.

That's great advertising when you can turn Chicago into a city you'd want to spend more than three hours in.

The object of advertising is to get people to feel better about the product you're selling.

The Democrats are going the way of Burma Shave and Crisco - products everyone loved and had in their homes. But they got old. They didn't have anything new to say about the product, and after awhile, they died.

Every automobile ad looks alike.

I don't remember most of the '60s and '70s.

Once people feel comfortable with something, they say, 'Let's try it.'

I don't come from a lot of money. In fact, I don't come from any money.

It goes back to all of us wanting to be in Hollywood. We're all dying to win an Oscar.

If people ever talked the way advertising sounded, they would be put away.

If they can't suck money out of the Hamptons, a candidate really has to throw in the sponge.

Advertising should always be in good taste without a question.
