When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of 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.

It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'

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.

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.

Imagine trying to relive your worst break-up, your worst fight, the most painful death of a loved one, and just really relive it step by step, and bring it up and apply it to the scene you're in.

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.

Even the European critics... They said Hostel is the smartest film they'd seen on capitalism and how it's gone too far.

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.

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.

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.
