7 QUOTES WITH «SELLOUT»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word sellout.
1
Tom Colicchio
You hit a certain age and - especially because of TV - the young cooks coming up say, 'You're a sellout, because you're doing something other than what you should be doing.' 'Top Chef' is a double-edged sword for me: There's a whole group of people who will not come to the restaurants because they assume I'm not in them anymore, all I do is TV.
2
Christopher Hitchens
I've had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat.
3
Jay Inslee
I do care about the mercury contamination which this country will be experiencing because of the attempted sellout by this administration to special interests which will result in more mercury in the blood of young children in America.
4
Marc Jacobs
Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.
5
Alexandra Patsavas
In the old days, a TV sync was perceived as not so cool or whittling away at your indie cred. Now it's seen as much more of an opportunity than a sellout, as a way to find fans who wouldn't have ordinarily come across their genre of music.
6
Ariel Rechtshaid
The best bands kept making records and had this evolution, where by the end, by their commercial phase or sellout phase, the records are from outer space.
7
Joe Wurzelbacher
Since I became part of the zeitgeist, I've been called a sellout many times.
