“American culture is no longer created by the people... A free, authentic life is no longer possible in AmericaTM today. We are being manipulated in the most insidious way. Our emotions, personalities and core values are under siege from media and cultural forces too complex to decode. A continuous product message has woven itself into the very fabric of our existence. Most North Americans now live designer lives-sleep, eat, sit in car, work, shop, watch TV, sleep again. I doubt there's more than a handful of free, spontaneous minutes anywhere in that cycle. We ourselves have been branded.” PeopleWayHas BeensTodayLife IsValuesCultureForceSleepEmotionExistenceWatchesDoubtMinutesMediaCarTvsProductsPersonalityMessagesComplexesCoreDesignerShopsCyclesFabricConsumerismSpontaneousHandfulAmerican CultureWovenOverconsumptionInsidiousCore ValuesSiegeBrandedAuthentic LifeUnder Siege Author:Kalle Lasn
“Dress has never been at all a straightforward business: so much subterranean interest and complex feeling attaches to it. As a topic ... it has a flowery head but deep roots in the passion. On the subject of dress almost no one, for one or another reason, feels truly indifferent: if their own clothes do not concern them, somebody else's do. ... Ten minutes talk about clothes (except between perfect friends) tends to make everyone present either overbearing, guarded or touchy.” IfsFeelsReasonFeelingsPassionInterestPerfectMinutesSubjectsTenClothesConcernRootsDressesComplexesIndifferentTopicsStraightforwardGuardedTouchyOverbearingDeep Roots Author:Elizabeth Bowen
“It's really hard to fit a complex idea into a 3-minute pop song. And when you're dealing with issues that you're passionate about, usually they have various levels. And within a poem, you can get around the issue of space, and in a song the same way, by simply leaving holes and alluding to what you're talking about.” WayIdeasHardSongSpaceLevelsTalkingIssuesMinutesFitComplexesLeavingPassionateVariousPopsHolesPop Song Author:Jon Foreman
“As an actor, you only get to work 15 minutes an hour; as a director you're fully immersed. It's incredibly more complex and challenging and I love it.

“When you're on the set, and sometimes, because it's been so complex and the writers have been really writing, sometimes up until the last minute...

And that's the kind of challenge I like.” IfsWritingKindHas BeensSometimesLastsCan DoChallengesBrainMinutesLet MeComplexesLast Minute Author:Glenn Close
“One of the things the police officers told us in the first minutes of being with them is that the way that they cope with their job is by using a lot of inappropriate humour. It's really a lovely opportunity to try to challenge our ideas of what it is to deal with complex issues, and that they're not always dower. Having that kind of humour along with the pathos for what people are going through is a really nice challenge.” PeopleWayTryingFirstsKindIdeasJobsOpportunityChallengesDealsIssuesNiceMinutesHumourPoliceComplexesLovelyOfficersReally NicePolice OfficerInappropriatePathos Author:Kristin Lehman
