I think everybody has fantasized about being shot, either consciously or subconsciously. You read about it, you see it on the TV, and you see it on the news. And so, everybody, especially in America, thinks about it a lot. And I’ve said this before: It’s as American as apple pie – that is, to be shot or shooting people. (Chris Burden)

The conversation between Chris Burden and Christopher Knight was published on DVD in Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König in 2017. See purchase details!
