Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

More quotes by Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
Eli Roth
Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.
Eli Roth
I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
Eli Roth
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
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
Eli Roth
I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.
Eli Roth
I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
'Beatrice Cenci' was an amazing film. If it were released today it'd win Best Picture. It's so well done, it's so contemporary, and the filmmaking is so smart.
Eli Roth
Quentin Tarantino assistant called me and said: I have good news and bad news. The good news is you got the part, the bad news is you have to do it. I was like: Oh Jesus, when am I supposed to do this? I was prepping Hostel.
Eli Roth
Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and people said: Wait a minute, he's actually smart and he knows what he's doing! I feel that with Hostel, any time you make a film like that it's going to illicit a strong reaction and you can't worry about that.
Eli Roth
Even the European critics... They said Hostel is the smartest film they'd seen on capitalism and how it's gone too far.
Eli Roth
Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
Eli Roth
When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
Eli Roth
I think that horror films have a very direct relationship to the time in which they're made. The films that really strike a film with the public are very often reflecting something that everyone, consciously or unconsciously feeling - atomic age, post 9-11, post Iraq war it's hard to predict what people are going to be afraid of.
Eli Roth
What's important for me is staying healthy.
Eli Roth
When I was filming the death scene [in Inglourious Basterds], and I'm killing somebody, I had to work myself up.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
