There is a cultural factor promoting violence which nowadays undoubtedly is highly effective is the mass media. And particularly everything that enters our minds through pictorial media.

I've always talked to the media. I'm pretty respectful to the media.

The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible - stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment.

I'm not affected by violence the way some people are. I don't know why, but I enjoy that intensity.

Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies.

It is really the angling in the media that I do not like. That is how media can be rotten.

It is now such a complex society in terms of media. It just comes at us from every direction. You kind of have to push it all away.

The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.

If you're in the media, particularly newspapers, you are in the thick of all the interesting things that are going on in a community, and I can't imagine any other life that one would want to dedicate oneself to.

I would never deny the importance of the media, but I wouldn't go out of the way to splash my pictures all over town. I'd rather let my work do the talking.
