Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.

I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.

It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.

Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.

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

I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.

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 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.
