As we realize that more and more things have global impact, I think we're going to get people increasingly wanting to get away from a purely national interest.
However, the radio and national media depend much more on the hype from a good record label, and from a ' buzz ' about a band, then from just one or two good shows. There are a lot of artists that have a ton of good press going for them, and still do not make it big in the US.
I really don't have a lot of interest in national politics, and it's because I'm a skeptic. I think you can accomplish a lot more locally. I don't want to spin the wheels and not get anything done.
I've gotten involved in producing now, so the kinds of things that are more my own choice are more possible in that field because I don't have to be castable.

It is the natural order of things that successive generations will achieve more than their predecessors.
I want to be in a more natural state while doing acting.
If it had remained always my band, my natural tendency would have been to get more complex and arrange things more and more. That wouldn't necessarily be good for Eddie, or anyone else in the band.
My natural tendency is to write about zombie bunnies, but one of my first writing teachers got incorporated into my writing superego, and I keep hearing his admonition to make things feel more real the weirder they get.
The Internet is allowing us to get back to what's really more natural, which is that storytelling is a shared thing. It's our natural way to be communal.
It's not that hard to imagine the natural world recovering it's health in our absence: it's more difficult, and more necessary, to imagine it recovering its health in our presence.
No naturalist has devoted more painstaking attention to the structure of the barnacles than Mr. Darwin.
I'm one of a generation brought up on television whose acting is more 'naturalistic', whereas with some of the older generation it's more heightened. But I think there's room for both styles.
More than an adult comedy, 'Great Grand Masti' is a naughty horror comedy, more on the lines of 'Masti.'
