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

I honestly believe that advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted the trouble is I don't know which half. Advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

I'm hard-nosed about luck...If you're persistent in trying and doing and working, you almost always make your own fortune.

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

The Creative Revolution is over. Everybody is justholding onto their jobs and no one is ever going to say toa client... ‘Buy this or I’ll resign your account.’ You don’tdo it anymore. It’s now, the majority of the time... ‘How do you like it? When can I change it for you?’

I learned much from my father just by watching his example. If I saw him hold a door open for someone, I learned to do the same. Kids always observe their parents and I always watched my daddy.

Nothing kills a bad product faster than good advertising.
