Granted, there are times when, for business reasons, you do something that's more mainstream. But even then, I try to find something that has a dark or subversive aspect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I've become good at is bringing things that aren't necessarily mainstream to the mainstream.
Mainstream to me equals boring, so I don't want to be doing that.
When I first read 'On the Road,' it helped me figure out how to live against the grain. Now I wonder how to be subversive when the subversive has become mainstream.
What I've become good at is bringing things that aren't necessarily mainstream to the mainstream. What I did see on Twitter was a potential for mass publication; it's a mainstream consumer broadcasting device. It transforms customers and companies. You have to be transparent or you fail.
I think I am very mainstream - I'm committed to good works in my life.
For a writer, you definitely do not want to be in the mainstream. You want to be on the edge because that's where the vantage point is. That's where you can see.
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?
I like to find things that are unconventional and make them look classic, because if I'm forcing something, you can just tell.
I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
I'm going to do everything I can to keep from being mainstream.
