I think that the enormous emphasis on violence and sex, and in particular violent sex, may not make rapists of us all, but it predisposes us to accept a kind of world in which these things happen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yes, violence begets more violence, but historically this has been the way of the world.
I think American audiences are quite interesting in that they can handle almost any amount of violence, but the moment the violence becomes sexual violence it immediately becomes an issue.
We have rudiments of reverence for the human body, but we consider as nothing the rape of the human mind.
The violence in the world comes about because we human beings are forever creating barriers between men who are like us and men who are not like us.
It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily.
I'm not sexist in any way - sexism is another form of violence, and there are many great men in this world.
I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.
Sex should not be in the movies and should be in the home, and violence should be in the movies and not in the home.
Violence is a part of America. I don't want to single out rap music. Let's be honest. America's the most violent country in the history of the world, that's just the way it is. We're all affected by it.
So I think we're kind of an alternate choice for people who have had it with sex and violence.
