There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.

Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind - it is only the difference in the victim.

I would rather have been beaten up in the media than live a life that wasn't happy.

There are many victories worse than a defeat.

I think the brutality is important to convey as part of the story, to see how brutal it is to have these kids in battle with one another.

Those children who are beaten will in turn give beatings, those who are intimidated will be intimidating, those who are humiliated will impose humiliation, and those whose souls are murdered will murder.

Shame is a fitter and generally a more effectual punishment for a child than beating.

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.
