“The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.” “The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture.
