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.

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.

Possession and exorcism is something that’s in every religion and every culture. It’s a real primal fear: Is the body a vessel for our spirits? What happens if something else takes over it? Where does the spirit go?

I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!

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

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.

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
Eli Roth

Borat shows American stereotypes of Eastern Europe but it's an accurate depiction of what a certain type of American is. They think they can buy and sell these girls and then they get bought and sold.

I don't want people to feel: Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic. I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.

Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.

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

Chile could work as a double for L.A. it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.

I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.

I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.
