Kylie Jenner Quotes

I kind of grew up watching R-rated movies and more adult content because that's where all the best performances are.

Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.

The film I do doesn't have to be a film that only my kids can watch. My kids will watch films, but I will decide what they watch and not.

The only problem is I can't get into PG-13 Land. I just get stuck in R rated movies, which they would love us to make PG-13 movies but I never get there. But I think that you've got to make them different. You've got to switch them up.

The whole 'R' rating depends on a strange sort of fantasy land where all adults are responsible people, and children only ever go to the cinema with their parents.

I worked on movies with a lot of violence when I was a cinematographer, and it always bothered me. It's a personal thing. I wouldn't want my kids to see it.

Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed.

I will not have the Federal Theater used politically.
