ADD QUOTES
- Peter: The cast of Chicago Hope is one of the most volatile casts that I've heard of in the history of television.
  Edit Share Hide
- Peter: I'm very anti-Million Dollar Baby. I think it's a rotten message! When we were filming Friday Night Lights we had a kid break his neck, a 15-year-old, who became a quadriplegic. For that youngster to see Eastwood's new film, and hear it's message, is appalling. To go and see that that movie and come away thinking that Hilary Swank's [character is] better off dead and that the noble thing was for Clint Eastwood to choke her to death before she's even had a real chance to process the shock. I have a problem with that movie. It's offensive!
  Edit Share Hide
- Peter: (on why he made the movie "Very Bad Things") I was becoming frustrated with how unprovocative movies are today. It was rare that I'd go to a film and feel anything. I remember going to see Rosemary's Baby for the first time and feeling like I might be in some form of jeopardy sitting there in that room. So I tried to make a film that made audiences feel legitimately threatened.
