I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
Eli Roth
Image
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
Eli Roth
Image
You'd be lucky to get tortured to death in one of my films. It's the best thing that could happen to your career. But I'm very aware that as soon as you put women in this situation, all of a sudden people are like: Wow, well wait a second! Immediately, people become very sensitive to it.

I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department I can only kind of do one thing at a time.
Eli Roth
Image
I have control issues. For sure, no question.
Eli Roth
Image
So when I was beating the guy, I started thinking, 'What if I was Hannah Montana?' . . . And little do they know that that's why I look so insane . . . I'm torturing myself with thoughts of, 'How could I actually pull off being a high school student and a pop star at night?'
Eli Roth
Image
Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.
Eli Roth
Image
People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
Eli Roth
Image
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
Eli Roth
Image
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
Image
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
Eli Roth
Image
I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
Eli Roth
Image
I've always been fascinated by the idea that there's no such thing as evil it's all in your point of view. To one group a suicide bomber is the antichrist and to one he's a hero.

I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.
