I don't want people to feel: "Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic." I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.

I've always wanted to make a big apocalypse movie. I love 28 Weeks Later, I think it's great but Cell is totally different. It's about people's dependence on technology, the collapse of society and watching everything fall apart. That's something I've always wanted to do, which I believe it can!

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

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.

'Hostel' is that's how I feel about what's going on in Iraq. There's people that just want money and people are being sacrificed for it.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

When people direct insults at me, I can take it.
