More quotes by Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
Eli Roth
In musical theater, if you have a song, it has to advance the plot. If you have a song in a musical and it does not advance the plot, it gets dropped.
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
Chile could work as a double for L.A. it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.

What's important for me is staying healthy.
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
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
Eli Roth
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
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.
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
I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
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
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
I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can't always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too.
Eli Roth
You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
