“I definitely believe that violence is an acquired behavior. There are exceptions—sociopaths and psychopaths—, but for the rest of the population, violence is something that it is learned. You can desensitized people if you make them watch too much violence, especially during their formative years. That’s why so many countries have some sort of censorship over too much violence scenes. When I came to US, it was very difficult for me to watch movies or TV shows. I was not used to see so much violence. (…) Likewise, the few video games I have seen are horrendous in terms of violence. I don't want to imagine how much damage they must be doing to those tender brains, which are being molded by those visions.”
