I never write something and consciously embed political commentary or any other kind of commentary. I just try to get the characters into a room or out of a room, or onto the plane, or through the grocery store. The political stuff, the class stuff, the gender stuff, is in the air, it's in their interactions, because it's there for all of us.

Curtis Sittenfeld

I am interested in making photographs which comment on the experience of a place as well as describe it. My position has not typically been one of advocacy for or against any political position. But I regard photographs as commentary, and that includes, at times, taking a specific political viewpoint on an issue.

Mark Klett

Literally every time I'm on camera, as well as there being commentary on what I've said, there'll be commentary on what my hair looked like, what I wear. Often it's written in the most hideous and quite cruel way.

Nicola Sturgeon

I don't profess to be a political rapper, like groups such as 'Dead Prez' or 'Public Enemy', but I think social commentary should make its way into your music. Speaking on your neighbourhood is social commentary - what happens, what's going on.

Jay-Z

A feat - of access and of passionate and appropriately unsettling political commentary.

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Although I'm great at political commentary and journalism, it's not my passion. 'Gorilla Mindset' is.

Mike Cernovich

Men don't avoid successful women because they're jealous; they often do it to avoid being in competition with her next job promotion.

Ian K. Smith

With the advent of this kind of TMZ culture, it sadly seems to have infiltrated the vanguard of film commentary. I see these reviews sometimes where I think, well, you have a right to say whatever you want about my work, and I will listen whether it's good or bad and see if there's something that I might work with, but personal issues don't have a place in film commentary.

Nicolas Cage

In baseball, you can't tell the players without a scorecard, but in political commentary, you need a metaphor.

Florence King

Code is followed by commentary, and commentary by revision, and thus the task is never done.

Benjamin Cardozo

I never think that anything I'm writing is bluntly political in any way. I'm not going for commentary.

Barbara Kingsolver

I think if I were living in a utopian world, then it wouldn't be political commentary; it would be about daffodils.

Emily Haines

I think that my films are basically family stories, beyond the fact that they are global and have political and social commentary.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Doing the press has become as much of a job as getting in front of the camera. You have to avoid burnout, avoid saying anything stupid, but still come across as yourself.

Taron Egerton

One of the most overused phrases in political commentary is that someone is running a 'negative' campaign filled with 'attack' ads.

Mercedes Schlapp

Lawmakers in both political parties have often acceded to unions' requests to avoid political confrontations or to curry favor. They have pushed difficult choices into the future.
