I've been on the wrong end of violence, and I've done violence myself... I refuse to glorify violence in my movie and television roles.

We try to show that violence has a consequence - when you create violence, it turns against you.

America's addiction to violence is partly evident in the heroes it chooses to glorify.

My people have been sucked into the violence because some feel they have to retaliate, and some feel they have to protect themselves.

One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour.

I'm not affected by violence the way some people are. I don't know why, but I enjoy that intensity.

Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing - it's something so impersonal really.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

I am committed to the principle that violence is never justified as a means of ameliorating a grievance.

Violence is a tool of the ignorant.
