We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn't have a sort of influence. It does.

Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies.

There is violence in real life but I would never impose violence in a film just to attract the audience.

I think violence in a cinematic context can be, if handled in a certain way, very seductive.

When I use violence in a movie, it's just to express the power, the impact of it.

I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.

I think if there was no violence in our world, there would be no violence in film. Violence is a part of human nature, and obviously it's a troublesome part of human nature. You always have responsibilities when you portray violence in what angle you put down on that scene.

I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.

I do find violence entertaining, but that doesn't make me a bad person. I grew up watching all these action films when I was a kid. My dad would bring back 'Rambo' and whatever, and we'd watch it together. It's not affected me in any way other than I just appreciate the entertainment value of violence on film.

Physical violence is always a bore in films today. We don't see how much it hurts. We don't learn the true consequences of it.
