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
When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
Eli Roth
The scariest people are usually the sweetest.
Eli Roth
I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.
Eli Roth
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
Eli Roth
The one negative to horror is that it's always law of diminishing returns. When you go in the funhouse, the ride is never scary the second time. You will never have that pure experience as when you first watch it.
Eli Roth
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
Eli Roth
I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.
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
What's important for me is staying healthy.
Eli Roth
I think in life we get very caught up in the minutia and, unfortunately, it generally takes some sort of tragedy in your life to put things in perspective.
Eli Roth
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.
Eli Roth
I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
Eli Roth
There's something very scary about exposing yourself on camera, knowing that you're going to be put on thousands of screens around the world for everyone to judge, but there's also something very thrilling and exciting about it.
Eli Roth
Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'
Eli Roth
I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
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
My parents love it! They're on set. They make cameos in the movie. My father is a psycho-analyst and a professor at Harvard and he told me how many of the other professors at Harvard have gone and seen it. They love 'Hostel' and they love the thought behind it.
