I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.

It is a lot harder now to be a police officer than what it used to be.

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.

I was born in Detroit, in an all black neighborhood.

I'm very into the military and police stuff. Gear and technical gear is something that's changing every day and every day you're trying to be on the cutting edge and improve your stuff more and more because your life depends on it. And so, the guns and the gears are changing constantly.

I myself am a very nonviolent person and only resort to violence when I absolutely have to.

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.
