I think people are frustrated in this society, where predators prey upon normal, law-abiding citizens, and you never see justice in the courtroom. In my films, the predators don't get away with it.

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.

There was a time when I thought I was doing a good thing with good guys for a good cause. Looking back, I think I really wanted to be a warrior.

I think we're living in a world where society is very difficult.

I think the more diversity that one has in his life, the happier he can be, as long as he is able to do whatever he chooses to do at that given time well.

The secret is not to act, but to be.

I used to have a gun made every month; I would get another pistol made that I would design. I'm very into the military and police stuff like that.
