“There were a lot of Indonesian films made in the Seventies and Eightie...” — Gareth Evans Quote

There were a lot of Indonesian films made in the Seventies and Eighties that had silat and karate built into them, but most had these mystical elements. People jumping into trees and turning into jaguars, that kind of thing. They were fun movies but not great movies.

I've always loved the films where it's like you're building up to something, you're getting a drip feed of mystery and tension and suspense, and then all of a sudden you flick the first domino and it just free-wheels until the climax of it. That was something I've always been drawn to.

The Raid' is a violent movie, without a doubt. I'm not going to say it isn't. But I feel there's a difference between showing something violent and then cutting away from it and showing something violent and then lingering on it.

In real life, I balk. Even seeing a real fight, I feel horrible.

Throughout the nineteen-seventies and eighties, especially during periods of recession, employees were moved from offices to cubicles.

When I was growing up in the eighties, there was a real nostalgic streak for the fifties. Look at 'Back to the Future.'

Even in the early Eighties, when I was one of the most successful models in Britain, I didn't really have a voice. Time after time, when I should have spoken up, I simply walked away.

I was never much of a club guy. Even when I was in New York in the early eighties, I never was once in Studio 54. It was too noisy. My version of those years mostly took place at my house.
