More quotes by Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
Eli Roth
Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.
Eli Roth
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
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
I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.
Eli Roth
I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
Eli Roth
I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.
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.
Eli Roth
I get a little too obsessive with work.
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
You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth
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?
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
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
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.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.
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.
