I would never put my songs in a commercial. Tom Petty
I did a Coca-Cola commercial when I was about two and a half years old, and then me and my family were extras in a bunch of Westerns. I loved dressing up and stepping into this imaginary world, and it was fun to get outside of my tiny little town with a bunch of movie weirdos. Jesse Plemons

I did a lot of commercials starting in about ’75, yeah. Well, not ‘a lot’; I never was a big old commercial gal, but I made a good living.

I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean. Kurt Cobain
Calvin was very clever. We did the pictures and made the commercial, and that really worked. Kate Moss
My father was a commercial deep-sea diver in exotic locations and my mom was British and we would travel there every year. So I always had that wanderlust in me. Josh Gates
I’m at an age where crying is easier for me now. I like it. I can cry at a poignant commercial; I can cry at a – this is a running joke in my house, but… a good ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ can make me cry. I’m not kidding. Ray Romano
I know this may come as a shock to most of you, but I’ve decided to quit acting.

It’s been great, but its just not for me anymore. Chris Pratt
The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents, the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible, at least on the scale it occurred. Henry Louis Gates

New Zealand was such a weird place in the 1980s. For instance, we used to have this commercial in the late 1970s where this guy drives this car and stops outside a corner store. He goes in to buy something, and when he comes out, his car is gone. He’s like, ‘Huh?’ Then a voice says, ‘Don’t leave your keys in the car.’ Taika Waititi
I view marriage as a sacred institution. I think two men naturally are predators. Gay relationships are a commercial break, not a whole movie. Pete Burns

I grew up in a renaissance period, a very lucky time when the greatest music ever made was also the most commercial.

Whether I achieve it or not, that is one hundred percent of my criteria. Steven Van Zandt

I don’t think I’m misunderstood, but there is definitely a certain side of me that the press focuses on – my body, my hair, or who I’m dating – which has never really served me as an actor.

I have a private plane. But I fly commercial when I go to environmental conferences. Arnold Schwarzenegger
The question really is, are you improving the world? And you can do that in many models. You can do that in government, you can do that in a nonprofit, and you can do it in commercial enterprise. Jeff Bezos

My dad’s quite a conservative person, and he brought me up to be very questioning of the commercial world. He looked down on pop culture. I definitely got the impression that pop was evil and that Britney Spears was evil. Marina and the Diamonds
I did a Sour Patch Kids commercial. First they’re sour, then they’re sweet. The Sour Patch Kid throws eggs at me, at my front door, and then comes over and gives me a hug at the end. I also did a Sony PlayStation commercial. They don’t give you anything. I thought I was gonna get Sour Patch Kids; I thought I was gonna get a PlayStation. Evan Peters
I think the commercial world is a lateral step from features. Some people see it as a step down, but I’ve never understood that. Theodore Melfi
I want to be thankful for all of the things that I’ve been blessed with, and I’ve had a great run. I have a huge fan base, and I’m still able to work a lot.

I was driving in a car on my way to football practice, and I was listening to the radio, and they had one of those, like, art showcases, like, ‘Do you want to be a star?

Clubs have sponsors. They are just there for commercial reasons but the club calls them partners. Then you have the fans. The fans are emotionally involved, they are loyal, and the clubs call them customers. I think fans owning a share of the club would mean the owners know what ‘customers’ really think and feel. Gianluca Vialli
I remember being a kid, and if you had to pee, well, you had to hold it until the commercial break. Then you rushed, and hopefully, if you’re going to the kitchen for a snack, you’ll be back before so you don’t miss a line. If your sister sneezed or was talking over a line, there was no way of knowing what that line was or what the joke was. America Ferrera
Back in third grade, they used to say, ‘Take whatever talent you have and think of something you can do with it.’ I liked to draw, but what could I do with it? Maybe I could be an art dealer – nah, can’t see myself doing that. Maybe I could do commercial arts? The Notorious B.I.G.
Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind. Calvin Coolidge
I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration. Elon Musk

I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you’re born to make commercial music that’s cool. But if you’re born to not make commercial records, maybe you’re meant to cater to another market. Bryan White
My most famous commercial was for Fruit Of the Loom underwear. I took a lot of razzing from my classmates. Ian Ziering
That whole idea of chick lit being a thing that you just lump all the commercial female writers into – it went on for years.I’d switch on the radio, and I’d hear, ‘Two female authors are here to discuss chick lit – is it dead?’ and I’d think, ‘Argh, no, not again. Are we seriously still having this conversation?’ Lisa Jewell
Every nation has to follow a certain policy: Commercial, trade, various other types of policies. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

I don’t know what’s in store for me, but I know that I want to create work, and I want to create an environment where I can bring in my favorite people and collaborate with them, and do something that is so much weirder and so different from what you’d see in commercial film. Lucas Hedges

We are not coaching on a daily basis because we often travel with our charity and commercial interests. Nadia Comaneci
Virtual reality sort of encloses and immerses the person into an experience that can be really cool but probably has a lower commercial interest over time.

When I left university I got a job with Shell on their graduate scheme. One of my roles was as a commercial manager for liquid natural gas shipping, project economics and contract negotiation. Liz Truss

Over the past 20 years, I have noticed that the most flexible, dynamic, inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors.

Camille Paglia
One of the obvious things that went wrong with Multics as a commercial success was just that it was sort of over-engineered in a sense. There was just too much in it. Dennis Ritchie

My personal experience has been that in my 25 years of writing, I have not been asked to do more than four or five commercial one-shot scripts.
