I don't know specifically what scenes I'd like to see violence in - I crave violence when I'm watching a John Hughes movie.

Not every Hammer film was perfect.

I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.

Personally, I can't stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there's 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don't know why those directors aren't asked why they're such specialists for violence.

In terms of popular cinema, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is as near perfection as I can think of.

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.

A movie with nothing but violence is not a good movie. But one that is actually entertaining around the horror is one that people will remember and watch again and again.

I wanted to make a movie that was kind of a tribute to the way I feel when I watch a John Hughes movie.

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

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