In my case, I feel very protected when I SEE a MOVIE. That's why I LIKE making VIOLENT movies or radical movies.

The only THING I LEARNT in HIGH SCHOOL is that people are very violent and territorial.

Immediately surrounding the TRANQUIL eye is the most VIOLENT PART of the HURRICANE: the eye wall. The most intense wind speeds at the surface are FOUND there.

You have to talk about 'The Terminator' if you're TALKING about artificial intelligence. I actually THINK that that's way off. I don't think that an artificially INTELLIGENT system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture.

The VIOLENT QUARREL between the abstractionists and the surrealists SEEMS to me quite unnecessary. All good art has contained both abstract and surrealist elements, just as it has contained both classical and romantic elements - order and SURPRISE, intellect and imagination, conscious and unconscious.

The DIMENSIONS of my FEELINGS are too VIOLENT.

Violent IDEOLOGIES can proliferate and spread; THREATS are no longer contained by BORDERS and OCEANS; and adversaries are as likely to be found in cyberspace as on the battlefield.

We're ANIMALS. We're VIOLENT. We're CRIMINAL.

I have long UNDERSTOOD that losing ALWAYS comes with the territory when you wander into the gambling business, just as getting crippled for life is an acceptable risk in the linebacker business. They both are extremely VIOLENT sports, and pain is part of the BARGAIN. BUY the ticket, take the ride.

I was jailed for using WORDS that I STILL dispute. Anyone who's ever MET me will tell you that I'm not a VIOLENT PERSON.

In MANY ways, I THINK that, while we've been remarkably VIOLENT in our media, there's been a real SCHIZOPHRENIA. In private, on the INTERNET, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we're way more explicit than we've ever been.

When I worked as a PROSECUTOR in Richmond, Virginia in the 1990s, that city, like so much of AMERICA, was experiencing horrific LEVELS of violent crime. But to describe it that way obscures an important TRUTH: for the most part, white people weren't dying; black people were dying. Most white people could drive around the problem.

I was constantly GOING to the MOVIES. My parents let me see whatever I WANTED to and they only pulled me out of one movie in my LIFE. That was 'Gunga Din' and they thought it was too VIOLENT.

Juveniles as WELL as adults need to KNOW they're going to be PUNISHED for their violent acts.
