Your product should sell itself, but that does not mean you don't need salespeople.
Yup, I'm not good at selling myself, my PR skills are atrocious.
I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.
I'd love to see myself on sale in shops. It tickles me, does the idea of me being marketed.
Like adverts, today's works of art aim to create a brand, even if they have no product to sell except themselves.
To sell yourself is somewhat debasing, and everyone is selling something.
I don't like selling myself. It's a sort of shy arrogance.
[Truman Capote] was not only just selling his writing, but he was selling himself as a person.
All of us are selling ourselves, every single minute of every single dayeach one of us is building our own 'brand of me' and saying 'buy into me, put your faith into me, give me this shot, I will make it happen.'
We begin selling ourselves on what we want to do rather than what we ought to do. We listen to ourselves until we believe our own lies, and the we opt for happiness.
If today I have been able to sell myself, it's because I agreed to shed my clothes and my inhibitions. And the more clothes I take off, the greater the number of people who come to see my films.
I'm my own salesman. I can't let anybody do anything for me.
I think that every boxer should understand he's on the pedestal for a short span. It's best that you use boxing and don't let boxing use you. Use boxing to sell, because people are selling you through your boxing career, so you have to learn to sell yourself, and you'll never starve.
For an actor, you're rejected eight or ten times a day. All you've got to sell is yourself. You're not selling products, they're not turning down a car, they're turning you down. Most people can't handle that. Most people are essentially not set up that way.
