The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain.
School is very conformist, and one of the very first conforming that goes on in preschool and kindergarten is gender.
The conformist understands that the reason of his desperate look for conformism is that he realises he is different and that he never accepted his difference.
We are so conformist; nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff; we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.
No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or 'get rich' in business by being a conformist.
The British cinema had been very dull and conformist.
In the traditional urban novel, there is only survival or not. The suburban idea, the conformist idea, that agony can be seen to and cured by doctors or psychoanalysis or self-knowledge is nowhere to be found in the city. Talking is a way of life, but it is not a cure. Same with religion.
The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives.
I think that certainly the artists of the '40s, '50s and '60s were fighting a very conformist society, which didn't give them enough space to live or create, and they were bucking all kinds of spoken and unspoken rules.
What always made me proud - almost blushing with pride - is that Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg all told me that 'The Conformist' is their first modern influence.
