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

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
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.
