• I love California. It has such a strong contribution to the history of culture, and popular culture. For better and worse, of course. Even the worst can be interesting to some degree sometimes for somebody creative.

• Read, listen to and watch everything you can. Explore the corners of popular culture and the arts. And, of course, these days you have to stay maniacally plugged in to the cutting edge of whatever technology is taking your profession into the future - otherwise you're toast.

• It is quite reasonable to subscribe both to the old saw that no good girl was ever ruined by a book and to the perception that it is not good for children to be constantly exposed to the sexual violence in our popular culture. Protecting children seems to me logically, legally, and rather easily differentiated from censorship.

• The media and the rest of popular culture weren't recording people's reactions to 9/11; they were forcing made-up reactions down people's throats.

• I think a reason that a lot of people feel politically paralysed is that it used to be clear how power was organised. But those who have their hands on the levers of popular culture today have great power - and it isn't even clear who they are.

• I've often used the extremes in my work to comment on the mainstream. I think that sometimes a subject that I'm working on, like popular culture, is so present all around us that they're hard to see. It's like: How do you see the air you breathe? How do you see how it affects you?

• Judeo-Christians have got to respect the pagan truth shown in the popular culture of sex and violence. It's meaningful about the elemental forces of life, the brutality of life and nature.

• Many things have changed in our culture here in England as a direct result of the Pistols: the whole street-fashion thing in London, for example, or the coverage of popular culture in the national press, or the fact that the film industry is now about young people making films about young British issues.

• [Buzzing at the Sill] trata de los márgenes de Estados Unidos, de muchas partes que no se ven. Bueno, partes que se ven y resultan familiares a gran parte de la población, pero que no se ven cuando se trata de los parámetros de lo que reflejan las noticias dominantes, la cultura popular y Hollywood.

• Recuerdo cuando Langston Hughes solía escribir una columna en los periódicos negros en torno a este personaje, Jesse B. Semple. Siempre lo utilizaba como voz, a veces de forma cómica, para que la voz de la gente corriente llegara a través de este héroe popular, que era un trabajador corriente. Hablaba de todo, desde la brutalidad policial hasta la guerra de Corea. Ese tipo de expresión e identificación ya no prevalece en nuestra cultura popular.

• I'm just so amazed by people who are willing to share things that, in the past, no one would have ever talked about. Folks in popular culture being willing to take on issues, I think that is such a key part of having a culture shift and an institutional shift.

• One could dismiss the zombie trend as merely feeding a mass public that craves the strange and bizarre. Such an explanation would be only skin-deep. Popular culture often provides a window into the subliminal or unstated fears of citizens, and zombies are no exception. Some cultural commentators argue that the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks are a primary cause for renewed interest in the living dead, and the numbers appear to back up this assertion.

• The truth is, everything we know about America, everything Americans come to know about being American, isn't from the news. I live there. We don't go home at the end of the day and think, "Well, I really know who I am now because the Wall Street Journal says that the Stock Exchange closed at this many points." What we know about how to be who we are comes from stories. It comes from the novels, the movies, the fashion magazines. It comes from popular culture.

• The exclusion of true esoteric religion has been the business of the State since ancient times. At first this was done via the establishment of the popular idealism of exoteric religious institutions in league with the State. But in modern times the same process is done by the strategic exclusion of conventional religious cultism, mystical idealism, and higher evolutionary Wisdom from the mechanisms of popular culture.

• Como modo de pedagogía pública, un estado de guerra permanente necesita sujetos dispuestos a acatar sus valores, ideología y narrativas de miedo y violencia. Dicha legitimación se proporciona en gran medida a través de una cultura impulsada por el mercado adicta a la producción de consumismo, militarismo y violencia organizada, que circula en gran medida a través de diversos registros de la cultura popular que van desde la alta costura y las películas de Hollywood hasta la creación de videojuegos violentos y conciertos de música patrocinados por el Pentágono.

• A belief in God may not be fully within me anymore, but there's still a belief in belief. The high drama and power of the Church has stayed with me. As a child in church, I saw grown men at the altar crying out for God's mercy. And the idea of someone doing that has become a joke in the popular culture, but when you are there and you see it, you experience - for a moment - an incredibly raw, honest, strange insight into what it means to be a human being. Those experiences don't leave you. Whatever you think of them, they are powerful experiences.

• Con una película estás creando desde el principio esta obra particular, no la llamemos obra de arte, porque muy pocas películas son obras de arte, llamémoslas simplemente trozos de cultura popular, sean lo que sean, a veces muy raramente por accidente una película se convierte en una obra de arte.
