People always accuse me of making these dark, depressing movies. 'Why do you have to pick up on real issues? People are so exhausted and miserable.'

I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.

When violence is real and you flinch away from it, violence does not push people to try and imitate that. Often, we shun the violence that makes us flinch, because it disturbs us. And what makes us uncomfortable and disturbs us is not often bad. What disturbs us will not make us imitate that.

I shoot reality-based movies, and in actual locations, shooting them with a star is next to impossible.

My cards and flowers always got rejected on Valentines Day.

All those pseudo-Hollywood movies set nowhere, with everybody good looking and having great physique - that's not working any more.
