Chad Damiani: We've all seen the T-shirts you wear to the ring. It has been rumored you have been able to find solace in some of the darker comic book heroes....
Raven: We all have to find a place to hide our emotions; a place to find asylum or sanctuary.
Chad Damiani: Are there any comic book characters you'd like to see immortalized on film?
Raven: I do believe the comic book The Sandman, would be quite interesting. I'd like to see that vision portrayed on film.
Chad Damiani: A lot of your critics accuse you of being a bad influence on America's youth. People have also made similar indictments about the motion picture industry. How do you feel movies affect people?
Raven: I don't feel I'm a bad influence on society and neither are movies. People are going to do what they want to do, but people want to rationalize the actions of others; they want a scapegoat. So they attack me and my Flock, they attack movies or something they see on television. I feel everyone should be [held] accountable for themselves.
Chad Damiani: You say that, but you have taken some respected young wrestlers -- like Billy Kidman -- and affected the way they dress and act in the ring. You don't think some innocent, wide-eyed kid in the suburbs could be similarly affected by a violent film?
Raven: What are you saying? That I brainwash people? That movies brainwash their viewers? I think anyone foolish enough to go out and emulate things they see on a movie screen is an idiot. It's ludicrous to suggest their lives are influenced by cinema. This interview is over...
