It's PRETTY HARD to make out what's GOING to be a COMMERCIAL SUCCESS and what's not.

People WORSHIP anyone in the entertainment industry. You can be a used-car salesman and have a television commercial on the LOCAL station, and that MAKES you a CELEBRITY.

I certainly wouldn't WANT a SONG that I'd already written to be USED on a COMMERCIAL. That seems STRANGE.

'Belko Experiment' was the harshest, most EXTREME movie I EVER made. But I still think there's a very cohesive center to it that wasn't always in my EARLY films. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing. But I think it's a commercial thing.

For me, 'Bookends' marks the start of my foray into commercial fiction, away from what has always been THOUGHT of as more TRADITIONAL chick lit - single GIRL in the city trips AROUND in Manolos looking for Mr. RIGHT.

Acting was always something FUN to do on the side growing up, but I never really took it seriously. I would do a COMMERCIAL every few months, and that paid my school tuition. But in HIGH school, I was mostly into SPORTS and didn't GO out for stuff during those seasons.

The INTERNET OFFERS opportunities that are more unique than ever before. With TV, I KNOW I'm making 22 minutes; I know there's a commercial in the middle. With the Internet, no one knows anything. No RULES.

A laborer no LONGER makes WHOLE articles. He receives raw materials, puts his touch on them, and PASSES them to another worker in the series. When the articles are quite finished they are carried out of SIGHT by currents of commercial EXCHANGE. These currents are untraceable.

I want to be COMMERCIAL. I'm never the person who SAYS, 'I don't care if people don't see my MOVIES.' I ALWAYS want people to see my movies.

The COMMERCIAL flight THING, it just gets a little weird when you're standing in line and suddenly you're not just a guy standing in line anymore - you BECOME SORT of 'novelty boy.'

I'm WRITING EXACTLY the kinds of books I like to write. And they're the kinds of books I like to read. They're popular COMMERCIAL fiction. That's what they are.

I basically never believed that I was a commercial actor. Just because of the OUTCOME of many AUDITIONS over TIME. No one HIRED me.

In Austin, you WORK in anything that will pay and a LOT of things that don't. The DOCUMENTARY filmmaker may also be a gaffer on a feature and producer for a COMMERCIAL series and web host. Everyone just does a little BIT of everything, and you have to because it's a secondary market.

Should we think about separating the investment banks from the commercial banks, a new Glass-Steagall? I would be REALLY excited to SEE that. I think it would be GREAT for the ECONOMY.

My FIRST AUDITION was for a Dr. Pepper COMMERCIAL.
