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.

Everybody has to know where they're coming from, what they're doing, why they're doing it, who they are. These are essentials.
Eli Roth
Image
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'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.
Eli Roth
Image
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.
Eli Roth
Image
There's fear in everything, but we can't just succumb to that. We have to suppress it, so we get used to suppressing fear to make it through the our day. Otherwise, we'd become paralyzed by them.
