The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun. — Christian Siriano
Essentially, my kids grew up with the emphasis on the environment because I became a political activist in about 1969 and it was not an easy time.

So I was out there feeling very often alone and my kids would get that. — Robert Redford
All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered.

All media are extensions of some human faculty - psychic or physical. — Marshall McLuhan

Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant. — Leon Trotsky
