Томми Моттола - Хитмейкер. Последний музыкальный магнат

Томми знает, как привлечь людей. Знает, кого нанять. Знает, как донести до них, что ему нужно. Именно благодаря его таланту и движущей силе стоимость Sony возросла с 2 миллиардов долларов до 14 миллиардов.

Джо Пеши, актер, комик и певец

В случае Томми, да и моем тоже, детство, проведенное в самобытном районе города, дает замечательное «чувство улицы» и умение манипулировать людьми. Ты обучаешься толково говорить с людьми. Понимаешь, откуда они, стоит им заговорить. Можешь разобраться в том, что у человека сейчас на душе. Знаешь, куда пойти, как договориться, – такие штуки.

Томми отлично понимает, как поладить с людьми. В том смысле, что он же как-то нашел общий язык со всеми этими латиноамериканскими артистами? Как вы такое объясните? Надо и правда иметь хорошо подвешенный язык, чтобы с этим справиться…
