At its core, kitsch feels like something less than art; it panders to the middle and is flagrantly anti-art, though it often apes or references art. This referential, ersatz quality is why it's so fun to collect.

Carrie Brownstein

Now and then I find a kitschy series I love.

Adam Pascal

Ultimately Warhol's private moral reference was to the supreme kitsch of the Catholic church.

Allen Ginsberg

Ireland is a series of stories that have been told to us, starting with the Irish Celtic national revival. I never believed in 'Old Ireland.' It has been made all of kitsch by the diaspora, looking back and deciding what Ireland is. Yes, it is green. Yes, it is friendly. I can't think of anything else for definite.

Anne Enright

There's so many German songs which are really popular in Germany that I find really bad. It can quickly border on kitsch pop.

Bill Kaulitz

Miami can be super-kitschy at times, and it's fun to embrace that.

Camila Mendes

The value of kitsch exists in its novelty and in its connotations to more legitimate counterparts.

In 1979, postmodernism lost its understanding of the meaning of ornament. It degenerated into kitsch applique.

Charles Jencks

If you can't take the kitsch, get out of the kitchen.

Charles Jencks

If I'm backed into a corner, the first thing that comes to mind is the robot from Forbidden Planet. But that could be me trying to be kitschy, cool, and cultural, because the real answer is R2D2.

Christian Slater

In the first place, it's surreal to watch filming, to see the little ideas you had in your head and now Taylor Kitsch is doing it, or Salma Hayek. And then to see it loud and bright onscreen is a trip.

Don Winslow

I did my homework and didn't go out much, and had a very highly developed kitsch fantasy life where I dreamed of being a dancing girl.

Emily Mortimer

With the rights now in our loving hands, I'm beyond excited to bring 'The Green Hornet' into the 21st century in a meaningful and relevant way: modernizing it and making it accessible to a whole new generation. My intention is to bring a gravitas to 'The Green Hornet' that wipes away the camp and kitsch of the previous iteration.

Gavin O'Connor

Kitsch is more dangerous than it looks when taken to the extreme.

John Cusack

When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.

John Cusack

Working with Michael Shannon and Taylor Kitsch was incredible.

John Leguizamo

The Rolling Stones have been the best of all possible worlds: they have the lack of pretension and sentimentality associated with the blues, the rawness and toughness of hard rock, and the depth which always makes you feel that they are in the midst of saying something. They have never impressed me as being kitsch.

Jon Landau

I'm not too fond of really cool design. I've got quite kitsch taste really, in things like tableware. I'm quite a sucker for 1930s pressed glass.

Kevin McCloud

The 1970s 'Wonder Woman' was sort of a kitsch thing. It was a very specific time for that, and it's hard to modernize something like that.

Maggie Q

For me, true kitsch has nothing to do with irony. It's very honest. It represents what people like, their dreams.

Marcel Wanders
