People sometimes mistake being serious with being taken seriously.

I do think that television, in its early years, played a significant role in that standard-setting, enforcing a certain decency among people. They took their role seriously, and the people behind the camera took their role seriously, too.

The idea that things can be serious minded but must be somehow balkanized in the art-house ghetto is very upsetting because I think it limits not just the audience who was already going to see it, but those who might have had their tastes developed at a younger age.

Before Truman, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously.

To make riot grrrl move into the future in a new way with a bunch of new names and a bunch of new energy, younger people have to learn about it and apply it to their own lives and own modern conversation. And they are.

The funny thing about history is that we imagine that people didn't laugh in the old days, but of course they did, at stupid things.

Before Truman Capote, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously.
