Vincent D'Onofrio If a movie isn't a hit right out of the gate, they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy. Roger Ebert If you grow up in the South Bronx today or in south-central Los Angeles or Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, you quickly come to understand that you have been set apart and that there's no will in this society to bring you back into the mainstream. Jonathan Kozol If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so. James Lovelock In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me. Carter Burwell Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn't want to do. Anthony Anderson It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream. William Hurt It's a wonderful thing to see a segment of our population that is open and eager to learn more about Chinese culture. It has filtered into the mainstream. You see credit-card ads on TV with white couples and Chinese babies. Iris Chang It's always the minorities who aren't a part of the mainstream who define what the limits... of the majority are going to be. Rose E. Bird It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means. Daniel Clowes It's that I wasn't suited to do the kind of comedy that these people were coming to hear - mainstream comedy. Larry David Lawyers are like beavers: They get in the mainstream and dam it up. John Naisbitt Look, it's a mainstream animated movie, and how often are those considered thought provoking? It's meant to be a great time at the theater, but it's also designed to work on more than one level. Brad Bird Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left. Arianna Huffington Many of the mainstream agricultural scientists, especially at the agricultural schools, but at all of our major universities, are tied into all sorts of contractual relationships and consulting relationships with the life science companies. Jeremy Rifkin Most of what I listen to now is mainstream jazz from 1935 right up to and including early bebop and cool jazz. Dave Van Ronk Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch. Jason Patric My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press, by science fiction periodicals, romance magazines, small press publications and various other journals, including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material. Jean M. Auel My own early crusade for same-sex marriage, for example, is now mainstream gay politics. It wasn't when I started. Andrew Sullivan Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write. Laurell K. Hamilton |
