Closure is a preposterous concept worthy of the worst aspects of American daytime TV.
The landscape of daytime has changed. I'm not so sure people go to daytime TV for kumbaya moments anymore.
TIVO was a big shift in how people watched TV, but everyone understood the concept of TV. No one really understands the concept of, well why would I want my genetic information?
The easiest thing to do is to rag on the media, because it isn't doing a very good job right now. It is so much easier to profit from celebrating the worst aspects of ourselves. Acting strikes me as the antithesis of that. We can examine the worst aspects of ourselves, but we don't have to celebrate them.
We have directed the closure of P.R.C. Consulate General Houston, in order to protect American intellectual property and American's private information.
Electra Heart is the antithesis of everything I stand for. And the point of introducing her and building a concept around her is that she stands for the corrupt side of American ideology, and basically that's the corruption of yourself. My worst fear - that's anyone's worst fear - is to lose myself and become an empty person. And that happens a lot when you're very ambitious.
The reason 'closure' is a cliche is that it is used too often, too imprecisely, and doesn't in any case reflect reality. In reality, such closure in broken friendships and much else in life is rarely achieved; only death brings closure and then not always for those still living.
When you dream, you dialogue with aspects of yourself that normally are not with you in the daytime and you discover that you know a great deal more than you thought you did.
Even if a media of a TV is not available in a home, there's this concept of community homes, where a reasonably well-off villager will have a TV - and a nice TV - and he'll keep it outside the house in the evenings.
Everyday, day & night, we hear the lies that September 11th is the worst tragedy, worst accident, and worst crime to ever been committed on American soil. We bear witness that the worst crime, the worst tragedy, that has ever taken place on American soil is not September 11th. It's not the twin towers. It's the holocaust that black folks been dealing with for 400 years.
I'm not interested in closure. Some people just have heart attacks and die, right? There's no closure.
I truly believe that closure doesn't need to come from the other person. You can always get closure from yourself.
Closure isn't closure until someone's ready to close the door.
I meet people who are so sniffy about daytime TV.
Pointless' - I think it's probably the greatest daytime TV show that has ever existed.
Before deciding to retire, stay home for a week and watch the daytime TV shows.
The challenge in daytime in particular, I think, is to go against all the traditional cliches of daytime and try to make it real.
