Daily Inspiration Quote by Lisa Bonet

"I'm writing a film. With our access to these powerful media, we're going to take over, because it's really disgusting what is put out there now to be consumed"

About this Quote

There is a particular kind of 90s-to-now celebrity frustration baked into Lisa Bonet's line: the sense that Hollywood is both a megaphone and a landfill, and that being inside the machine doesn’t automatically grant you the power to clean it up. She starts with a simple flex - "I'm writing a film" - then immediately widens the frame to "our access to these powerful media", positioning herself less as a lone artist than as part of a cohort that has finally gotten close enough to the controls to do something with them.

The word "take over" is doing double duty. On the surface, it’s ambition. Underneath, it’s a corrective to the soft, polite language women in entertainment are often expected to use when they want change. Bonet rejects "let's improve representation" talk for something closer to a coup: if the output is "disgusting", the problem isn’t taste; it’s governance.

"Put out there now to be consumed" lands like a diagnosis of the audience relationship as much as the industry’s. Content isn’t shared, it’s fed. The subtext is that mainstream media has trained people to accept a narrow menu - sensationalism, objectification, empty spectacle - and to confuse availability with value. Bonet’s intent reads less like moral panic than cultural self-defense: reclaiming narrative as a way to stop being packaged by other people’s imaginations. The context is an actress signaling a shift from being cast to being an author, and implying that authorship is the only real leverage in a system that sells images first and excuses later.
