I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
Image
I'm not interested in going after a part. I think if someone wants me for a part and approaches me then I'll take it on a case-by-case basis and see what that part is.

Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.

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.

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.

All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.

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.

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.

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.

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

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.

When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
Eli Roth

I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.

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.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

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

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

I've always been fascinated by the idea that there's no such thing as evil it's all in your point of view. To one group a suicide bomber is the antichrist and to one he's a hero.
