Culture change means we will do things differently.

Where there is a sufficient social movement of self-reliant communities, there can be political change. There must be political change.

You have to believe that it's through politics that societies can lead social and economic and political change.

Our culture is more shaped by the arts and humanities than it often is by politics.

Human society has dense borders - economic, religious and cultural - inculcated from an early age. We hate change.

Whenever culture has gone through a radical change, as ours has - from industrial age to information age - there are people who will deny that things have changed; they resist it and refuse to change.

In a kind of a way there's a bit of that happening now so we have to be careful to preserve our culture.

It's very, very hard to affect culture. And you can get surprised thinking you're farther down the path of change than you really are because, frankly, most of us like the way things are.

We cannot change the political system, we cannot change the economic system, we cannot change the social system, until the people control the land, and then we take it out of the hands of that sick minority that chooses to pervert the meaning and the intention of humanity.

As a newcomer to America who learned to 'speak American' by watching movies, I firmly believe that to change the politics of immigration and citizenship, we must change culture - the way we portray undocumented people like me and our role in society.
