Image
I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.
Eli Roth
Image
You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'
Eli Roth
Image
I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
Eli Roth
Image
The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.
Eli Roth
Image
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
Image
Everyone is so terrified of being labeled a racist.
Eli Roth
Image
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.

Quentin Tarantino assistant called me and said: I have good news and bad news. The good news is you got the part, the bad news is you have to do it. I was like: Oh Jesus, when am I supposed to do this? I was prepping Hostel.

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.

The world is changing. Social media is a way to sell movies and to build a fan base. The truth is that you have followers because they know you are into it and you're funny and you like it. I think it's great.
Eli Roth
Image
I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department I can only kind of do one thing at a time.
Eli Roth
Image
I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
Eli Roth
Image
Borat shows American stereotypes of Eastern Europe but it's an accurate depiction of what a certain type of American is. They think they can buy and sell these girls and then they get bought and sold.
Eli Roth
Image
I have control issues. For sure, no question.
Eli Roth
Image
What's important for me is staying healthy.
Eli Roth
Image
I think horror should never be safe, whether it's violent or non violent.
Eli Roth
Image
There's fear in everything, but we can't just succumb to that. We have to suppress it, so we get used to suppressing fear to make it through the our day. Otherwise, we'd become paralyzed by them.
Eli Roth
Image
I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.
Eli Roth
Image
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
Image
I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.
