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
You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.
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 can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
Eli Roth
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.
