Popular culture is simply a reflection of what the majority seems to want.

Popular culture has become engorged, broadening and thickening until it's the only culture anyone notices.

Every now and again, the alternative culture is cherished by the mainstream for what it is, rather than how it should be, like the mainstream popular music.

And so popular culture raises issues that are very important, actually, in the country I think. You get issues of the First Amendment rights and issues of drug use, issues of AIDS, and things like that all arise naturally out of pop culture.

My working hypothesis is that stupidity in popular culture is a constant. Popular culture cannot get more stupid.

I am one with the popular culture.

The down side of Americans being obsessed with pop culture is that they kind of like it light.

I think that every minority in the United States of America knows everything about the dominant culture. From the time you can think, you are bombarded with images from TV, film, magazines, newspapers.

The culture is just so coarse that you have to take it to that level and people will be like, 'Whoa!' And then you can make people think about stuff. It's kind of like shock therapy.
