More quotes by Eli Roth
I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.
Eli Roth
I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can't always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too.
Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
You have to write scenes and design scenes that are scary and horrific, but that are also watchable. I didn't want people to just feel like they got punched in the stomach.
Eli Roth
Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
Eli Roth
I've always been a fan of 3D, going back to movies in the '50s. I was part of the early '80s 3D craze, which was coming at you in Jaws 3D, so I've always wanted to make a 3D film.

Eli Roth
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.
Eli Roth
When I was filming the death scene [in Inglourious Basterds], and I'm killing somebody, I had to work myself up.

The scariest people are usually the sweetest.
Eli Roth
I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.
Eli Roth
Chile could work as a double for L.A. it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.
Eli Roth
Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
Eli Roth
I don't want people to feel: Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic. I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.
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
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.
Eli Roth
I get a little too obsessive with work.
Eli Roth
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.
