“I guess it really didn't even dawn on me that you could be a rock critic as a job until I was maybe almost out of college. I knew criticism existed. I read Rolling Stone and Spin. Siskel and Ebert were on television. But I had absolutely no idea how to get that kind of life. And moreover, it didn't interest me that much. I just sort of read normal books growing up. I wasn't that media-conscious. I felt like the one thing I was able to do was to listen to a record and decide whether I liked it.” KindBookIdeasAbleJobsFeltInterestGrowing UpRecordsGrowingOne ThingRocksMediaTelevisionCollegeNormalConsciousStonesCriticismCriticsNo IdeaDawnRollingRolling Stones Author:Chuck Klosterman
“The idea of using media for expressing yourself artistically is kind of something I learned from my mother and my father. So for me, I think growing up wanting to be an artist, I always imagined myself sort of crossing over or mixing media and so it was a natural evolution for me to try to express in a filmic way or in a visual way. It just kind of seems like a natural sort of progression for me in terms of what I'm trying to do as an artist.” ThinkingWayTryingKindIdeasSeemsMotherArtistFatherTermNaturalGrowing UpGrowingMediaEvolutionVisualsProgressionExpress YourselfCrossingsMixingUsing MeCrossing Over Author:Sean Lennon

“Growing up, it was difficult to find role models I could relate too. Mass media told me to emulate sexy singers or sexy actresses.

“When I got into film school, it really formed a sense of who I am and my sense of feeling like an outsider. If there was some greater purpose to do this, it would be so that future generations - my kids or my sister's kids - would grow up seeing themselves in their media culture in a way that I didn't.

“There are a lot of very religious scientists around. I think the problem here is that in our school systems, and to some degree - and this is where it is relevant - with school boards around the country that are mandating curriculums and textbooks, you start seeing this weird watering down of scientific fact so that our kids are growing up in an environment - and this connects to what I was saying earlier abou the media - where everything's contested.
