Mainstream Quotes

I agree that a lot of mainstream corporate sold hip-hop is self-hating Picture Quote #1

Personally, I can’t stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there’s 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don’t know why those directors aren’t asked why they’re such specialists for violence Picture Quote #1

I want to make it clear: it’s not that I hate mainstream cinema. It’s perfectly fine. There are a lot of people who need to escape, because they are in very difficult situations, so they have the right to escape from the world. But this has nothing to do with an art form Picture Quote #1

[Writing scripts] I’m not looking to jump in and make super mainstream movies. I still like to make movies that I like to see Picture Quote #1

We should all oppose - as Darwin did - views manifestly in conflict with the evidence, such as creationism... But we shouldn’t set up this debate as ‘religion v science’ instead we should strive for peaceful coexistence with at least the less dogmatic strands of mainstream religions, which number many excellent scientists among their adherents Picture Quote #1

Its a wonderful thing to see a segment of our population that is open and eager to learn more about Chinese culture. It has filtered into the mainstream. You see credit-card ads on TV with white couples and Chinese babies Picture Quote #1

Because of my New Line upbringing, half my heart goes to scrappy independents, and half goes to mainstream, down-the-middle pop culture events. And even with those, to try to keep something fresh and original with them and try to do things that the majors miss Picture Quote #1

There’s the exciting part about comedy - if you catch an act just before they go mainstream, that’s the best. After they hit the mainstream, everything gets watered down a little bit Picture Quote #1

By the time I was 18, I had absorbed punk rock from America, Britain, and the West Coast. All of it was so dark and weird and different and cool and hot and sexy and rebellious. It was a fist-in-the-air kind of rebellion that I wasn’t getting from the 70s mainstream Picture Quote #1

Hardly any filmmakers can just make anything they want. Obviously, there are some exceptions, like Steven Spielberg, but he has that mainstream mentality and the kinds of films he loves to make are the kind that appeal to this big, mass audience Picture Quote #1

We are a very like-minded group, the senior members of this government. The outliers are not very far away from the mainstream Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s a real shock to see American mainstream films. I can’t see these films because it’s always the same thing to me. This is very American. Violence is very American, and I can’t understand these films. Why do they use violence? To show what? Masculinity? To show fear? Defense? What are you showing with all this violence? Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the mainstream media understands people of color are multidimensional. For some reason, there’s an idea that only white people are relatable. I don’t think it’s necessarily racist. But it’s odd, because the people who watch the most television are black women, so we should be represented in more ways Picture Quote #1

Mainstream media has convinced people that black people aren’t relatable. So when a Jewish person comes up to me and is all, ‘Oh man, I love that one scene from Episode 3, I watch it over and over again,’ I’m so happy. Because that’s what I want Picture Quote #1

It’s depressing to see blacks wanting to dive into the mainstream of American commercial life. They come from a magnificent African culture based on aesthetics, and they all want to become fort builders like the vicious people who originally enslaved them Picture Quote #1

I do think it’s important for black writers to show that we too can make it into the mainstream. Growing up, I didn’t just watch The Cosby Show, I watched Growing Pains and Family Ties too. We can tell those stories too Picture Quote #1

I’m a progressive. What I find is that a subsection within the left that instead of standing for consistency in progressive values, so feminism as applied to mainstream society, as well as within minority communities, gay rights to mainstream society as well as within minority communities Picture Quote #1

Why did mainstream America come to accept marriage equality? Gay leaders had made a convincing case that gay families were like straight families and should have the same rights. The American spirit of fair play had been invoked Picture Quote #1

As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society Picture Quote #1
