Quotes
What goes through my mind when I see myself blowing some guy's brains
out on screen? It looks a lot worse than it did when I was doing it.
It's all so technical, really, when we're shotgun-blasting apart Peter Weller. It's kind of gruesome when you're doing it, but it looks worse
on screen. It's not so bad, really. A little bit of gratuitous violence
in a well-thought-out story is fine. -- on RoboCop (1987)
