| Quotes: |
[on the accidental shooting of Brandon Lee] It absolutely wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't even supposed to be handling the gun until we started shooting the scene and the director changed it.
<br />
<hr>
I just took a year off and I went back to New York and didn't do anything. I didn't work. What happened to Brandon Lee was a tragic accident and I don't think you ever get over something like that.
<br />
<hr>
[on the tragic death of Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow (1994)] What happened to Brandon was a tragic accident. It's something I'm going to live with," Massee said. "It took me the time it took to be able to not so much put it in perspective but to be able to move on with my life .... It's very personal. It's something that I wanna make sure when I work that it's never repeated. Therefore, I'm very conscious of the possibility of things going awry on set. |
