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

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

Barbara Kingsolver

Being in the building with Sarah Palin that night is a transformative and oddly unsettling experience. It’s a little like having live cave-level access for the ripping-the-heart-out-with-the-bare-hands scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Matt Taibbi

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

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

Emily Haines

In my travels all over the world, I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.

Lauryn Hill
