A comedy can actually get funnier and funnier. Even though you know the joke, you enjoy it so much, it's the facial expression, you laugh. The laugh doesn't wear off. It could be with you for thirty years.

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

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.

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.

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'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
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.

Image
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
Eli Roth
Image
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
Eli Roth
Image
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
Image
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.

Everyone is so terrified of being labeled a racist.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

I think that horror films have a very direct relationship to the time in which they're made. The films that really strike a film with the public are very often reflecting something that everyone, consciously or unconsciously feeling - atomic age, post 9-11, post Iraq war it's hard to predict what people are going to be afraid of.
