Chasing Utopia

"I don't have anything else so I have to make it... I have my dream". Celebrities are disposable, they are known for being known. We are so hooked on entertainment that we are entertaining ourselves to death.

I love my addiction - I gotta have it! If I don't win there's something wrong with the machine... One time I sat on the side of the bed with a gun in my hand because I couldn't stand what I was doing to myself. I think more people want care and love - but they don't know where to get it.

I see 10 million people wasting a lot of time. i go to some of the clubs at night and I see emptiness everywhere. We all know the train is heading off the cliff... but we still get on board. Maybe it's a way of keeping busy without having anything, just keep moving, even if you don't have anywhere to go! Keep moving, there's just not enough hours in a day.

If you isolate a person they soon cease to be a human being. Humans become human through human contact. They must have something to entertain them. It's hard to keep kids grounded into what is real. We are becoming a world of global isolates. We have to find what's real - feel the pulse of the earth. We don't have to touch anymore.

This city is not kind to women as they get older. The images we see in the media are not always about reality. For the first time in my life, I feel affected by advertising targeting women - which I object to. Many women don't seemed to be relaxed with other women... it all stems from the exploitation of women in advertising,,, well that's my theory anyway.

I find it frustrating... I'm a terrible romantic, but in a general a lot of people are scratching the surface. I'm desperate to find romance and depth in people. It's the way you look at them, it's how you treat them. The notion of intimacy these days is that people get their clothes off and have sex. Very few people find that super-connectedness - that magical relationship.

People are marrying their jobs. Your job comes home with you. Americans work too hard. It looks like it's a free country, they all think the same things, they all move in the same way, do they have a free mind to express... Now is the time for me to do my thing.

Men are in crisis... They think feminism is the same as communism or worse. It's all been based on male domination. The idea that societies problems are to blame because men hardly know where to begin. I probably have issues with men because my father wasn't available to me.

Somebodies are worth educating... somebody's aren't. People aren't building up people they're cutting them down. People are so silly, leaving their self-esteems at home each day. It's how you appear, not how the person actually is. It's all about having the right gear, looking good... the pressures of it all.

I spend two and a half hours on the freeway everyday, but what choice do I have. They sign at 37.5 hours, yet are expected to work over 50 hours. I can't see a drop in the level of consumption in families. The traditional family unit hardly exists anymore. They don't have TIME.

People think they can sum you up with just half a look. I try hard not to judge people... but it sort of comes as second nature. Being part of a group gives you power. It's disgusting when people shake your hand just for the picture of it.

Most people have the illusion that they see the news. Media can control populations of thoughts. Decide what you are going to accept, and what you are going to leave apart... rather than being forced into a clone of everyone else. It's not reality, it's reality that's been filtered, sometimes, we never know that freedom is available to us.
