“I think it takes a lot of trickery to keep up with the media and its perception of you. I don't know if I have it in me most of the time to care. The music is made first, and the interviews or photos to keep it alive come later as a necessary evil, I suppose.” IfsThinkingKnowsFirstsMadeCareEvilAliveMediaPerceptionMusic IsInterviewsTrickeryNecessary Evil Author:Jack White

“Los Angeles people are incapable of passively mainlining TV and movies. Here you have to read who produced or directed every episode, who wrote it, who had guests shots and whether you know them personally and if they like you. You have to figure out who everybody's agent is and whether yours is better. You not only know but deeply care about the difference between such job titles as Producer, Supervising Producer, and Executive Story Editor. ... So while the rest of the country is lying stupid in a media-induced coma, people in L.A. are in constant withdrawal.” PeopleIfsKnowsCountryStoriesCareJobsLyingDifferencesMediaStupidFiguresTvsLike YouShotsHollywoodConstantProducersAgentsTitlesExecutivesLos AngelesEditorsGuestsEpisodesIncapableWithdrawalComaJob Titles Book:Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye Source: Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye

When I think about the LGBT movement for example, they have had a really intentional strategy to try to change images and representation of LGBT people in the media and the culture.

That's what is needed in the women's movement - a strategy that can drive awareness and culture change.” PeopleThinkingNeedsTryingCareCultureIssuesAwarenessMediaExampleMovementNeededMovedStrategyFeministLgbtRepresentationPopular CultureCulture Change Author:Ai-jen Poo
