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.

I have control issues. For sure, no question.

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.

'Beatrice Cenci' was an amazing film. If it were released today it'd win Best Picture. It's so well done, it's so contemporary, and the filmmaking is so smart.

I want an iPhone 5, someone said something nasty on twitter, or my boyfriend isn't texting me back, like whatever the thing is that seems so major in your life, when a real disaster hits you suddenly strips it all away and you see what's really important and who you really are.

I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.

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.

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.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

The scariest people are usually the sweetest.

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.

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

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

I have so many different projects, I hear voices in my head - the characters talking all at once - and I have to write to make them stop.

As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.

Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.

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?

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