Sylvia Day Quotes

What infuriates me is that in America violence is judged in context, whereas language is not. So with language there is an arithmetic that says: one f*** is a PG 13, two f***s is an R. They don't say: one bullet through one head is a PG 13, two bullets through more than two heads is an R.

It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There's lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual... They don't care about anything else.

You need an R rating because without one, you can't advertise and the film won't get shown.

Well, they had to have me in the G-string because this is PG-13, right?

I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene.

Violence and smut are of course everywhere on the airwaves. You cannot turn on your television without seeing them, although sometimes you have to hunt around.

It was like fighting with the MPAA... to me it was like this is an R easy... but it was NC 17 over and over and even with this cut they were like, you are right on the edge buddy, one more thing and it's NC-17.

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.

They'll say, That's funny, but you can't do that on TV.

In deciding the ratings of the films, no consideration is given to artistic, technical or dramatic values. Only moral content is weighed.

If we should pass on whether or not a film is pornographic, we should take a look at it.

In movies you can shoot a guy 3,000 times and get a 'PG-13', but if you say the 'F' word twice it's automatically an 'R'. I'll let that be its own comment.

We take the R-rating on a case by case basis when the story warrants it and necessitate that rating, and shouldn't be hemmed by the rules of PG or PG-13.

I think a broader audience is really amazing. If there's no need for curse words or darkness, why go there? Why not make it PG?

You can't cuss on TV. It does hurt your brand if you do stuff like that. That's not what blue chip sponsors are looking for.

You can't say whatever you want on network television.

Perhaps there is such a thing as obscene sex, but I know that violence is always obscene. So I don't get it, that you can disembowel a woman but you can't see her tits. Who made that up? That's sick!

The practice of hinting by single letters those expletives with which profane and violent persons are wont to garnish their discourse, strikes me as a proceeding which, however, well meant, is weak and futile. I cannot tell what good it does - what feeling it spares - what horror it conceals.

I was a kid and it was kind of scabrous, and it wasn't the sacrilege that bothered me so much as the obscenity that challenged a 14-year-old American. But over the years, I came to have a keen appreciation of Charlie Hebdo and what it did.

I don't like swearing on the air. As a matter of fact, I'm not a prude, but I go to the movies and then wonder - I asked myself the same question, and I watch HBO and some of the comedy stuff, and I'm constantly asking myself, why have we gone there? It seems like it's unfortunate. It's so cheap.

Strip those clowns down to nudity, shove the chrome where they doo doo be.

If I'm gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is "poontang".

With today's movies, if we took out all the bad language, we'd go back to silent films.

As far as "uncut" I think we all know that you guys cut up the special. Originally it was going to be 2 hours plus and it got chopped down so I said "we can't use those words because it's not going to represent me right".

To me it's a mystery that you can show the horrific things in the movies, but not some sexual stuff which everyone does.
