More quotes by Eli Roth
Everybody has to know where they're coming from, what they're doing, why they're doing it, who they are. These are essentials.
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
You'd be lucky to get tortured to death in one of my films. It's the best thing that could happen to your career. But I'm very aware that as soon as you put women in this situation, all of a sudden people are like: Wow, well wait a second! Immediately, people become very sensitive to it.
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
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 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
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
Eli Roth
Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.
Eli Roth
I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.
Eli Roth
I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.
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
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
I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
Eli Roth
Everyone is so terrified of being labeled a racist.
Eli Roth
'Troll 2' is one of the rare sequels where you don't have to waste time watching the first one, since the films have absolutely nothing to do with one another.
Eli Roth
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
Eli Roth
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.
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
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
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
