Anthony Edwards: Everything I hate about Hollywood is embodied by that movie [Top Gun]. It’s the idea that you have to succeed at any cost. If you have to kill your best friend, that is OK, as long as you are the best fighter pilot. It’s a pure capitalism message gone mad. I guess I’m just an old peacenik, because I don’t believe you solve problems by killing people. (edit) Anthony: There's really no point in having children if you're not going to be home enough to father them. (edit) Anthony: Flying back from New York, the flight attendant said "God, I wished you were here yesterday, we had a stroke on the plane." I said, "If I have a stroke on a plane, I hope the pretend doctor isn't the one on the plane. I want a real doctor." (edit)
