With 'Hostel II' I thought I had a very, very strong female audience so I'm going to make a movie that's going to appeal to them. The guys will love it, they'll have their moments. But there'll be a lot more male nudity in this one. I have a lot of sausage in this one!

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

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

When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence. I want nudity. I want sex and violence mixed together. What's wrong with that? Am I the only one? I don't think so.

I want it to be able to hold up in 30 years' time. So, I'm really thinking about everything.

Twitter is wonderful. You can kill rumours instantly.

I think in a post-9/11 world, with the images coming back from Iraq, everybody knows more and more people who are going over there... the images on the YouTube phenomenon where the violence is so immediate. Direct people need something stronger to respond to. I think that there's definitely a wave of directors - who are labelled the splat pack - who really, really care about making great scary movies.
