One should make morals judgements for oneself.

I suppose I like to think of myself as a film-maker.

I think violence in a cinematic context can be, if handled in a certain way, very seductive.

My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.

Films don't cause violence, people do. Violence defines our existence. To shield oneself is more dangerous than trying to reflect it.

War's dirty little secret is that some men love it.

I did a pilot for Anything But Love in 1988 that didn't sell.
