In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.

Snobbery? But it's only a form of despair.

To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!

There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.

All the people I know have been conditioned by snobbery.

We are in a culture where it's so easy to just turn things off that you don't like. And I think that doesn't make you a well-rounded person or artist. You have to be able to take the good with the bad and have opinions on things!

Behind the criticism of fashion as an artistic medium is a highly ideological prejudice: against markets, against consumers, against the dynamism of Western commercial society. The debate is not about art but about culture and economics.

Critics established a snobbery toward me.

Don't get me wrong - intellectual snobbery is vulgar and gauche.

I am not a music snob. If anything, my musical taste is bad by any critical standards.
