Harry Dean Stanton
The mainstream media today has the biggest disconnect with its audience that it's ever, ever had.

I have a greater appreciation for how change actually happens. If something could change with the flip of a switch, it would have been done before. By the same token, there's always going to be a bit of a disconnect.
