More From Val Kilmer

I was on television a couple of years ago and the reporter asked me, "how does it feel being on mainstream media? it's not often poets get on mainstream media." i said, "well i think you're the dominant media, the dominant culture, but you're not the mainstream media. the mainstream media is still the high culture of intellectuals: writers, readers, editors, librarians, professors, artists, art critics, poets, novelists, and people who think. they are the mainstream culture, even though you may be the dominant culture."
Art Couple Thinking
The media are used to being able to control the agenda of both their friends and their enemies, their buddies and their opponents, and trump doesn't play by their rules because trump is not afraid of them. and trump knows that he doesn't need them. that's the big equalizer. unlike most republicans who think they can't get anywhere without at least some favorable treatment in the media or at least less criticism from the media, trump doesn't need the media. he's got his twitter account and he's got his rallies.

Analysts keep having to pick away at the scab that the patient tries to form between himself and the analyst to cover over his wounds. the analyst keeps the surface raw, so that the wound will heal properly.
Trying Patient Analysts
In the founding days of the constitution, the purpose of the media was to make sure that powerful government officials were held accountable. it really was. i mean, it was founders who hated the media like everybody else hates the media, but they understood the role they played. this media long ago when it comes to hillary clinton/bill clinton and the democrat party? no, no, no, no. they're the democrat party now. there is no media.

Freudian therapists do a lot of listening and very little persuading, and that was one of the reasons i eventually gave up being an analyst. you had to be too passive and not speak up, and you couldn't give homework to clients. while i was still an analyst, i wrote several articles criticizing psychoanalysis, but the analysts weren't listening to my objections. so i finally quit psychoanalysis after practicing it for six years.

So there's a cloud of rage around me, but being an artist kind of changes that. no matter what you thought coming in, what ignorant thing you believed, you're in show business for two years, you're like, "ok, i was wrong." it's hard to be mad at any particular group of people when you're an artist.
