More quotes by Eli Roth
It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.
Eli Roth
The world is changing. Social media is a way to sell movies and to build a fan base. The truth is that you have followers because they know you are into it and you're funny and you like it. I think it's great.
Eli Roth
I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.
Eli Roth
When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
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
The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.
Eli Roth
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
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
Imagine trying to relive your worst break-up, your worst fight, the most painful death of a loved one, and just really relive it step by step, and bring it up and apply it to the scene you're in.
Eli Roth
I need to eliminate 'like' from my vocabulary. I begin sentences with, 'That's seriously like ' I hear myself talking in this Los Angeles high-school student kind of way, and I hate it.
Eli Roth
I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
Eli Roth
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
Eli Roth
I think filmmakers, in general... There are some awesome, really great filmmakers - but on the whole, filmmakers, actors, I think they are the biggest bunch of whiny, over-paid babies on the planet.
Eli Roth
I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
Eli Roth
I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.
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
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.
