Text Quotes
In our culture, we get very much into shorthanding people. And I got shorthanded as That Guy: Jennifer Lopez, movies bombed, therefore he must be a sort of thoughtless dilettante, solipsistic consumer blahblahblah. It’s hard to shake those sort of narratives.  (Culture Quotes) Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that’s a very sad thing. It’s film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that’s everywhere around the world.  (Culture Quotes) I encourage people not to be passive consumers of music and of culture in general. And feeling like, yeah, you can enjoy the products of professionals, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to completely give up the reins and give up every connection to music or whatever it happens to be.  (Culture Quotes) Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a ‘disposable’ culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new.  (Culture Quotes) Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I’m concerned.  (Culture Quotes) I’ve been immersed in manga since I was a kid. I grew up with this culture. So I started to think about how to compare manga to contemporary art.  (Culture Quotes) Contemporary fiction is the hardest for me because I am not really in the popular culture - I don’t watch TV.  (Culture Quotes) ...Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by the folk.  (Culture Quotes) Popular culture isn’t a freeze-frame; it is images zapping by in rapid-fire succession, which is why collage is such an effective way of representing contemporary life. The blur between images creates a kind of motion in the mind.  (Culture Quotes) The musical culture in the United States has no doubt suffered severe setbacks, especially in funding, since the early 2000’s. However, I’ve been amazed at the resiliency of those involved with contemporary music in this country. I think composers and those dedicated to contemporary music have reacted with tremendous creativity and resourcefulness.  (Culture Quotes) One very important aspect of our contemporary musical culture - some might say the supremely important aspect - is its extension in the historical and geographical senses to a degree unknown in the past.  (Culture Quotes) The lowest form of popular culture - lack of information, misinformation, disinformation and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives - has overrun real journalism.  (Culture Quotes) Myths are part of our DNA. We’re a civilisation with a continuous culture. The effort to modernize it keeps it alive. Readers connect with it.  (Culture Quotes) I’m always uneasy with messages. I think if there is a message, it’s about taking control of your life. Not becoming a victim. Be true to yourself. In essence it’s about love in the drug culture.  (Culture Quotes) That is relinquishing control in a culture that prioritizes control and doing what you need to do in order to advance yourself.  (Culture Quotes) Also, worldbuilding touches all aspects of your story. It touches plot and character as well. If you don’t know the culture your character comes from, how can you know what he’s really like? You must know your characters on a much deeper level than you would if you just shrugged your way into a cookie cutter fantasy world.  (Culture Quotes) But what I’m very interested in, whether it’s writing, whether it’s hosting a show, whether it’s cooking food, I’m just into the discussions of identity, culture and the politics of culture.  (Culture Quotes) Half of Wisconsinites are considered alcoholics. It’s part of the culture of Wisconsin... if self-deprecation is their survival instinct, alcohol is their coping mechanism.  (Culture Quotes) Your personal core values define who you are, and a company’s core values ultimately define the company’s character and brand. For individuals, character is destiny. For organizations, culture is destiny.  (Culture Quotes) The gut-check message is do we have the right balance in our culture? Or are we in a position where hero worship and winning at all costs has subordinated our core values?  (Culture Quotes) The [Wal-Mart] corporate culture lagged way behind many other American corporations in terms of making progress on women’s issues, and that had a lot to do with being based in northwest Arkansas.  (Culture Quotes) Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed.  (Culture Quotes) I don’t know whether I see it as slipping inside the villains, but part of what makes Ralph Nader and Michael Moore such effective speakers and communicators is that they know how corporate culture works, how our lawmaking bodies really work, and where the bones are buried.  (Culture Quotes) What really makes the difference in innovation is whether the corporate culture is paying attention to innovation.  (Culture Quotes) In our corporate culture, because someone may have to take some flexibility because of family issues, somehow we continue to believe they aren’t fully dedicated.  (Culture Quotes) A sour corporate culture can actually make an entire society unhappy. This means that a strong corporate culture can have a positive impact on a society.  (Culture Quotes) People were expecting Rouge to go bankrupt, so there was a lot of anxiety. The corporate culture problem was even worse than in Russia. And at the same time, the work rules were more difficult.  (Culture Quotes) Success in an enterprise can be brought about, through effective leadership, which educes open communication, which in turn would contribute towards bringing down conflict levels, thus leading to higher productivity and distinguished gains, which in turn testifies about the healthy corporate culture of an organization.  (Culture Quotes) The point being we used to have a system that wasn’t as rigged in how the tax structure functioned. The president [Barack Obama] and I have been trying to get rid of some of these loopholes for some time. Look, we have to change the corporate culture.  (Culture Quotes) All of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it’s part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.  (Culture Quotes)
