Famous Pieter-Dirk Uys Quotes

“I'm just the dumb blonde with the jewelery!”

Pieter-Dirk Uys

Sunday Times interview (1980)

“Soon censorship will become a luxury of the past. When I recently spoke to an okie connected with the censor board about why 'Mad Max' wasn't banned, his reply was that the youth of today must get used to violence as that will soon be their way of life! It's a sobering thought.”

Pieter-Dirk Uys

Sunday Times interview (1980)

Pieter-Dirk Uys
