“When doe something truly become popular? And I don't mean "popular" in the sense that it succeeds,: I mean popular in the sense that the specific thing's incontrovertible popularity is the most important thing about it. I mean "popular" in the way Pet Rocks were popular in 1975, or the way E.T. was popular in 1982, or the way Oprah Winfrey was popular for most of the nineties. The answer to this question is both obvious and depressing: Something becomes truly popular when it becomes interesting to those who don't particularly care. You don't create a phenomenon like E.T. by appealing to people who love movies. You create a phenomenon like E.T. by appealing to people who see one movie a year.”

“Eläin tai olio on aina mies kunnes toisin todistetaan. Jos sille laitetaan ripset tai mekko eli se merkitään naiseksi, sitten on toisin. Jos E.T.:stä olisi tehty nainen (naaras?), tarina ei kertoisi lapsen ja olennon kohtaamisesta vaan lapsen ja naisen kohtaamisesta. Sen pitäisi jotenkin käsitellä muukalaisen sukupuolta. Se ehkä kävisi ilmi siten, että se kaipaisi lastaan. Tai ryhtyisi ihmiselle äidiksi. Tai rakastajaksi. Ainoa tapa tehdä E.T.:stä sukupuoleton oli tehdä siitä mies.”

“Simply because one is Black or Latino or lesbian or gay or whatever does not guarantee the person’s fidelity to a body of politics that empowers the particular constituency that they supposedly represent. The number of black elected officials has risen from 100 in 1964 to more than 9000 today. The number of African Americans who were in congress 30 years ago was about five; today it is over 40, an 800 percent increase. But have Blacks experienced an 800 percent increase in real power? It hasn’t happened. So, I think the emphasis of this liberal notion of social change by working solely within the established electoral system is just fatally flawed.”
