1. 1982 - 2004
22 years in any profession is a long time.
Veteran, I think is the word.
I don't feel anything like a veteran.
Veteran. What a hoot.
I heard once that a woman is a virgin every single time she makes love to a man she loves.
Maybe I understand.
I simply cannot bring myself to feel blase at that moment when I sit down to write an ad.
Every single time, I feel new, young, alive, fresh.
My brain smiles.
I have never understood burnout in advertising.
Oh yes, there have been more than my fair share of moments when I despaired of things.
I think it is fashionable to despair of clients.
I never met a client I didn't get along with.
I got along quite nicely, thank you, even with the clients I didn't get along with.
Yes, many of them were just plain dense.
Many were suspicious.
Many were wary of advertising types.
With good reason, I believed.
But we got along quite well.
I still have to win a Cannes.
I will.
