I don't like gratuitous violence. I don't like the 'Saw' movies. I don't like the 'Hostel' movies. I don't like anything that is violence for violence's sake.

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.

I've written films that are violent. I'm not big on sitting and watching violence.

I don't like violence.

I do not like violence.

What one person might see as violent, someone else may see as beautiful. Maybe even art.

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.

Physical violence is always a bore in films today. We don't see how much it hurts. We don't learn the true consequences of it.

I don't feel comfortable with violence, and I'm not sure that I film violent scenes properly, and it's something I'm reticent to do, and yet violence is sort of in all of my films.

Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.
