• If you are a marketing professional who wants to reach your buyers directly, many experts will say that the media is the only way to tell your story, and that press releases only to reach journalists - not your buyers directly. They'll say that bloggers are geeks in pajamas who don't matter. They are wrong.

• Our first idea is a grand opening, a big launch, a press release, or major media coverage. We default to thinking we need an advertising budget. Our delusion is that we should be Transformers and not The Blair Witch Project.

• Politicians pass laws for gun-free school zones. They issue press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them, and in doing so, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk.

• Para crear una especialización en comedia, acabé montando una noche de comedia en el sótano de mi residencia, y promocioné y produje mi proyecto final, lo que significaba que enviaba notas de prensa por fax desde un viejo Apple IIC, o lo que fuera, a los periódicos, sin saber si eso funcionaría o si así es como se hacen las cosas.

• Piense en la diferencia entre cómo responden su gasolinera local y el congresista a una subida de los precios del petróleo. Uno hace cambiar el cartel de precios del exterior para reflejar la realidad del mercado en cuestión de horas. El otro envía un comunicado de prensa, intenta organizar una audiencia y al final de cantidad no consigue nada. Mientras tanto, la gasolinera ya ha hecho al menos treinta ajustes adicionales a las realidades del mercado, mientras que su político no consigue nada más que medios de comunicación fáciles.

• A lot of people get to the point in their careers where blurbs are ghostwritten for them, because they're like, "I want to support this person, it's good for my career," and so they get someone at the publishing house to do it, or they copy something from the press release. People write their own blurbs, absolutely, some huge percentage of the time.

• Mi mayor sorpresa del año tiene que ver con Donald Trump y con su dinero. Y yo soy uno de los principales incrédulos de sus afirmaciones de riqueza y de lo rico que era. Publicó un comunicado de prensa antes de hacer su declaración financiera diciendo que había ganado más de 200 millones de dólares con un programa de televisión. No me lo creo.

• Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner, bypassed the debate before the Iowa caucuses because he objected to the participation of moderator Megyn Kelly as well a press release defending her.Beyond the Trump tantrum, we wondered if this had something bigger to say about the state of the media and politics and how politics is practiced today.

• People talk about this often in the art world. The press releases have reached a level of absurdity and creativity - creative absurdity - that has completely detached from its intended object. It's left reality behind long ago. It's like something out of William Burroughs.

• To an extent that undermines classical standards of science, some purported scientific results concerning 'HIV' and 'AIDS' have been handled by press releases, by disinformation, by low-quality studies, and by some suppression of information, manipulating the media and people at large. When the official scientific press does not report correctly, or obstructs views dissenting from those of the scientific establishment, it loses credibility and leaves no alternative but to find information elsewhere.

• Organizational Development: The New Christian Right of the 1980s was dominated by paper organizations that were essentially the mailing lists of a handful of politicized ministers. Such organizations were better at issuing press releases than doing the hard work of political mobilization and advocacy. By contrast, the movement of the 1990s has generated a plethora of grass-roots organizations that allocate meaningful responsibilities to individual members. The goal is to create an army of grassroots activists who know how to stimulate political change.

• The last time I talked to Axl was in 1996. That was the last time we exchanged any sort of words. There was a rumor that I talked to him a while back [and asked to rejoin the band]. I did go to his house one night, and I talked to his assistant about something that had to do with this lawsuit that we were involved in. But it got turned into something else. He went out and made a press release that said I actually spoke to him, which was all bullshit. I was really shocked.

• I wanted an agent who would actually sell stuff. After two British agents failed comprehensively, I was reading Locus (the SF field's trade journal) and noticed a press release about an experienced editor leaving her job to join an agent in setting up a new agency. And I went "aha!" - because what you need is an agent who knows the industry but who doesn't have a huge list of famous clients whose needs will inevitably be put ahead of you. So I emailed her, and ... well, 11 years later I am the client listed at the top of her masthead!

• Estuve en la Convención Republicana de 1976 en Kansas City. En aquel momento me presentaba como candidato "Nadie a la presidencia".

Nadie está en Washington trabajando para ti'.

• The moment the world declares a person to be immortal, at that moment the person will strive to prove the world wrong. In the face of glowing press releases and reviews the most heralded women starve themselves or cut themselves or poison themselves. Or they find a man who's happy to do that for him.
