“There's the obvious shift in the tech industry. I'm not really politicized about the whole thing, but it's definitely clear that rent is harder and it's harder for musicians or artists or someone not making a ton of money to live comfortably.” WholeArtistClearIndustryMusicianHarderObvious Author:Mikal Cronin
“The good news is that the comics field is small enough and informal enough that once you have made a comic, you have achieved your dreams: you have broken into the comics industry.

“To be in the music industry, to be in any kind of entertainment industry, you really, really have to be passionate about it and love it and persevere, because if that passion isn't there, it's easy to give up. If you really want it, the ambition is there, it'll come.

“When I started acting in the film industry when I was 16 years old, in 1980, I was going to all the revival theaters in Los Angeles. They were playing mostly films from the '60s and '70s, some from the early '20s and '30s, before that Hays commission. Those films did question things a lot, and there definitely was a switch in 1934. You can see very distinctly in 1934, it's harder to understand what the real culture was. Films made before 1934, you can really kind of see the racism, sexism, drug use, etc. that was going on at that time. And then it was all stopped.” YearsKindMadeRealUseFilmCultureActingIndustryDrugRacismHarderTheaterEtcLos AngelesSexismRevivalFilm IndustryHayDrug UseEarly 20s Author:Crispin Glover

“Basically, this industry is mostly run by men, and I think women have a harder time...I've had enough of the "Women in Rock" issues of magazines and all of that. There's no reason why we should have our own separate little genre; that's just ridiculous. Besides, what is the genre? I certainly don't fit into the whole "Lilith" thing (thank God), but I am a female musician. And there are enough other great females in music that don't have to fit into it, either.” ThinkingMenShouldLittlesReasonEnoughWholeRunningIssuesRocksIndustryFitMusicianFemaleShould HaveHarderRidiculousMagazinesGenreReason WhyNo ReasonThank GodHad EnoughLilithGreat FemaleFemale Musicians Author:Princess Superstar
“I was in the second year of my PhD when I first had the idea - I'd recently started working as a translator, which meant firstly that I was hearing about amazing-sounding books from other translators, and also that I was getting enough of an insider's view of the publishing industry to be aware of all the implicit biases that made it so difficult for these books to ever get published, especially if they weren't from European languages (harder to discover, editors can't read the original, lack of funding programmes, authors who don't speak English).” IfsYearsFirstsMadeBookIdeasEnoughSpeakLanguageDifficultViewsIndustryHarderOriginalsHearingMade ItEditorsPublishingFundingProgrammesImplicitTranslatorsSpeak EnglishInsidersPhdsPublishing Industry Author:Deborah Smith
“Overall, you know, no state in our country has been hurt more by the eight years of Barack Obama than Wyoming has been, and whether it's the absolutely unconstitutional role that the EPA is playing and the president trying to kill our coal industry - Wyoming is the nation's largest coal-producing state. So when President Obama and Hillary Clinton say they're gonna put coal out of business, it hits us harder than just about anyplace else.” KnowsTryingYearsHas BeensCountryStatesNationsPresidentHurtRolesIndustryHarderClintonEightOur CountryBarackPresident ObamaCoalBeen HurtUnconstitutionalWyomingEpa Author:Liz Cheney
