Because people see violence on the movie screen, they're not going to go out and hold up a liquor store and kill somebody. It really doesn't correlate.

When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.

Hell of a thing to have to experience, hell of a thing to have to see, to be reminded you're a human being and all it meant to be one.

The most alarming thing here is if we said we don't want another liquor store at 44th and Elliot, we would have to compensate someone. Our hands are going to be tied.

One of the greatest sorrows of human exisence is that some people aren't happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
