"It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea."

"Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga."
