I don't feel comfortable with violence, and I'm not sure that I film violent scenes properly, and it's something I'm reticent to do, and yet violence is sort of in all of my films.

I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well.

Some of my films are known for the depiction of violence. I don't have anything to prove with that any more.

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.

Violence in film and television is an ongoing conversation, and I like eavesdropping on it, but I'm never sure what my opinion is. I like watching creative violence, but I don't know.

I get very tired of violence in crime fiction. Maybe it is what life is like, but I don't want to do it in my books.

I guess you could say I've been in my share of violent movies.

I don't require movies to be about good people, and I don't reject screen violence.

I've had horror movies thrown at me and I just don't want to do any because violence isn't really good for society.

I think violence has always been popular, way before movies started being made.
