America puts killers on the cover of 'TIME' magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite movie stars.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the killers get far too much attention.
I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.
It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.
The big thrillers may make people aware of the violence in the society, and I guess that serves a purpose.
Both 'Oz' and 'Homicide,' they're critically admired, so it's not like they're really neglected, but I wish they'd found bigger audiences.
Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
It's funny how the ruthless, murderous gangster has really been romanticized by the media. I mean, I grew up watching the 'Godfathers' and 'Scarface,' and they were the coolest. They're just really interesting stories with great characters. They're rock stars.
On a scale of the United States, the Hollywood influence on what comes out, that's not the majority views of across the country. What we read in Us Weekly or People magazine, or Entertainment Tonight, it's not what the majority of the country is thinking.
Hollywood is all made up, anyway. Especially the stories and angles that people want to pin on you.
I find it strange that actors are on the covers of magazines.
