I deeply detest social distinction and snobbery, and in that lies my strong aversion to titular honours.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Critics established a snobbery toward me.
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Is class snobbery a social reality in the United States? Absolutely, and the kind that's codified by meritocracy is probably more toxic than the old-fashioned kind based on bloodlines.
I think snobbery is one of the oldest customs in the world, and the rich will always find ways to rank each other and make themselves feel more special than others.
Hypocrisy is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of belonging.
Increasingly, to dismiss any popular artistic style is seen as the worst kind of snobbery. And snobbery, it goes without saying, is unacceptable in a diverse and democratic world.
I detest self-regard. If my work has taught me anything, it is that self-aggrandisement is completely unhistorical.
The true definition of a snob is one who craves for what separates men rather than for what unites them.
In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.
I don't mind being called snobbish, a pain and a social climber, but being called unkind really hurts.
