Some people think 'Lord of War' is a political film, ... I think it's a truthful film, and the truth is political. The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world. It was true during the Clinton administration, and it's true during the Bush administration. It's bipartisan.

The Wild West mentality is still strong in America, ... especially if you go to a place like Texas, where it's alive and well, or maybe unwell: 'No one's taking away our guns.' In New Zealand, no one has a handgun, and they aren't saying, 'Gee, I wish I had one.' I hope the United States takes note that the murder rate is lower where gun availability is lower. It seems obvious to me.

It made hard-core people harder core, ... Ultimately it had a good effect because it made such nonsense of so many views about guns.

In a way, my film is a how-to about becoming an arms dealer, ... During the making of it, I needed guns in the Czech Republic, and it was cheaper to use real guns than replicas. I bought 3,000 Kalashnikovs and then sold them back at a loss. I wouldn't make a very good arms dealer.

Nine out of 10 war victims die from a gun.

Some people think 'Lord of War' is a political film,

The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world. It was true during the Clinton administration, and it's true during the Bush administration. It's bipartisan.

You open a newspaper and see a picture taken in a war somewhere, and there's a gun in somebody's hand,

We hear so much about weapons of mass destruction, ... But nine out of 10 war victims are killed by guns. It's the AK-47 that's a weapon of mass destruction.

There's a vanity, ... Almost like Mafia guys who love 'The Godfather' and don't see it as an indictment against them. Some arms dealers will see this film and think it glorifies them. They'll just be questioning how authentic it is.

I needed the devil to be charming, ... and there's no more charming a devil than Nic. Something about him makes an arms dealer likable. He was drawn to the material and took a big pay cut to do it.

You have two choices when someone changes your work, ... You can either wash your hands of it or embrace it. I embraced it. Peter and I are good friends.

I can't convince anyone it isn't CGI, ... Actually, I went to the Czech Republic and found a guy who owns, privately, 100 Russian T-72 tanks. It was no problem to lend them to me, but he needed them back to sell to Libya. I also had to inform NATO we were filming there. Someone in the Pentagon could have been looking at satellite images and noticed an arms buildup.

In a way, my film is a how-to about becoming an arms dealer, Commodore 64 er computeren, der lokker til demo-programmering.

I wouldn't make a very good arms dealer.
