You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.

Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.

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.

In musical theater, if you have a song, it has to advance the plot. If you have a song in a musical and it does not advance the plot, it gets dropped.

I've always been a fan of 3D, going back to movies in the '50s. I was part of the early '80s 3D craze, which was coming at you in Jaws 3D, so I've always wanted to make a 3D film.

I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand. And actually, most of the bats in Massachusetts are used off the field instead of on the field, and we all had baseball bats in our cars in high school.

Even the European critics... They said Hostel is the smartest film they'd seen on capitalism and how it's gone too far.

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?'

The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.

The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.

The point of the first one was that it was about guys being lured by sex and the stereotypes... I always say it's like a horror version of Borat. Borat's not an accurate depiction of Khazakstan, it's an accurate depiction of America. That's what Hostel is.

Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.

Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.

I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department I can only kind of do one thing at a time.

I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.

It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.
