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 get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.

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
Everybody has to know where they're coming from, what they're doing, why they're doing it, who they are. These are essentials.
