More quotes by Eli Roth
I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
Eli Roth
The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.
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
All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.
Eli Roth
Look at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
Eli Roth

Eli Roth
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.

'Beatrice Cenci' was an amazing film. If it were released today it'd win Best Picture. It's so well done, it's so contemporary, and the filmmaking is so smart.
Eli Roth

Eli Roth
I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.
Eli Roth
As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.
Eli Roth
I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!
Eli Roth
Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.
Eli Roth
I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand. And actually, most of the bats in Massachusetts are used off the field instead of on the field, and we all had baseball bats in our cars in high school.
Eli Roth
The scariest people are usually the sweetest.
Eli Roth
Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.
Eli Roth
When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
Eli Roth
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
I think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.
Eli Roth
There's something very scary about exposing yourself on camera, knowing that you're going to be put on thousands of screens around the world for everyone to judge, but there's also something very thrilling and exciting about it.
