Maybe if you and ten of your friends could pool your savings and borrow some money and actually buy some obscure station in Sonoma, and then take some chances and have some fun.

One survey that I saw that was published I think in Variety or Electronic Media within the last three weeks says that now the average hour of radio in the United States has 18 minutes of commercials.

As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society.

Our existing media system today is the direct result of government laws and subsidies that created it.

When the government allocates monopoly rights to frequency, and there are only a handful in each community, it's picking the winners in the competition.

If you look at the history of broadcasting, what you find is the National Association of Broadcasters is a trade association whose mission is to protect the interests of the commercial broadcasters.

And they've got to be held accountable; our broadcasting system has to be made accountable; and unless it is, it's going to be very hard to change anything else for the better in this country.

So the competition isn't once you got the license, running the station; it's getting the license.

Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.

And understand that scarce spectrum is used today for example for cell phone operators, they have to pay for the airwaves they use, for their services.

The notion that journalism can regularly produce a product that violates the fundamental interests of media owners and advertisers ... is absurd.

I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards.

Neurons are built to better remember the incompleted, the unfinished, the uninvited & the unwanted!

Isn’t antimatter what fuels the U.S.S.Enterprise?

If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.

If you are great, 'El Topo' is a great picture. If you are limited, 'El Topo' is limited.

Jerry Lumpe looks like the best hitter in the world until you put him in the lineup.

While some men believe in the infinite, some ponds will be thought to be bottomless.

There is no vice or folly that requires so much nicety and skill to manage as vanity; nor any which by ill management makes so contemptible a figure.

Do the hardest thing on earth for you. ACT YOURSELF.

I don't think people understand when you say you are making a micro-budget film that you are getting paid no money.
