You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

Badger hates Society and invitations and dinner and all that sort of thing.

I do feel like I have always in my life been inclined to be on the outside walk a different path or something. Because of that and increasingly over the years my sense of distance from mainstream society or from the way culture works I have a different kind of perception of it.

I think every artist should follow their vision their hearts is what they need to reveal not something that society is looking out for.

If you allow for a purely capitalistic society without any type of regulation at all you will get one monopoly that will eat all of the smaller fish and own everything and then you'll have zero capitalism zero competition - it would just be one giant company.

I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what's happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it because I always want to talk about certain things in society.

The one thing that advances a society is not technology or so-called development it's love - that one principle.

I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society something tragic or monumental has happened to them.

You forget that you do choose your life and there are so many things to be grateful for and I feel like society has gotten to that point where we're always looking for the next and the better and we lose sight of what's actually in front of us.

If you wish to appear agreeable in society you must consent to be taught many things which you know already.

Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.

The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment.

If anything needs to get fixed in society it's people's consumption of other people's problems.

I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available knowable and recorded by everyone all the time.

And nothing embittered me which is important because I think ethnic people and women in this society can end up being embittered because of the lack of affirmative action you know.

Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.

And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.

One of the most destructive things that's happening in modern society is that we are losing our sense of the bonds that bind people together - which can lead to nightmares of social collapse.

Watching people just look out for themselves I think is extremely interesting. It goes right back to something like 'The Beggar's Opera' - the underbelly of society how it operates and how that reflects their so-called betters.

So if we have anything original to offer it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

If we all say the same thing then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it I become singled out even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society people are giving up on protecting these values.

And from a military school which taught me that to fit into society you can't just do anything you damn well please because it will suit you. And that it's much better to be with the winners than it is with the losers.

In all of our society but especially in Hollywood there is an obsession with perfection that can lead to self-loathing and neurosis and all that kind of stuff.
