If a man is pictured chopping off a woman’s breast, it only gets a R rating, but if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman’s breast, it gets an X rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness?
Meaning of the quote
The quote is pointing out that in movies, violence is often shown more than gentle affection. For example, a scene where someone cuts off a woman's breast would only get a "R" rating, which means it's okay for older teens and adults to watch. However, a scene of a man tenderly kissing a woman's breast would get an "X" rating, which means only adults can watch it. The quote questions why violence is seen as more acceptable than loving behavior in media.

I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that’s amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.
