I Came To The Conclusion That Most People In America Would Really Like To Be Able To Get A Job Where They Think They're Doing Something Noble And Nice And Good And It Isn't Just For The Money. But The Reason They Hate What They Call The Cultural Elite Is That They See It As A Class That's Grabbed All The Jobs Where You Can Get Paid To Do Something That Isn't Just For The Money - If It's Art, If It's Charity, If It's Intellectual, If It's Political, Whatever It Might Be.
