In advertising, you have to do a lot of rewriting. But I didn't mind with my book because it's more fun writing fiction than advertising.

A young person, to achieve, must first get out of his mind any notion either of the ease or rapidity of success. Nothing ever just happens in this world.

I always wondered if I could write a novel, so I decided to try. I thought about writing a crime story, which is the kind of book I usually read, but it seemed too forbidding. But then I remembered the story I told my grandkids and started from there.

The advertising man is a liaison between the products of business and the mind of the nation. He must know both before he can serve either.

Whatever one believes to be true either is true or becomes true in one's mind.

You have to bear in mind that Mr. Autry's favorite horse was named Champion. He ain't ever had one called Runner Up.
