Lucio Fulci is such a massively underrated director. Everyone knows him as the Godfather of Gore.

'Cabin Fever' was very much inspired by 'The Thing.' It's really a perfect guy's horror movie: There's no love story, it's just straight-up horror. And it's so well-done. It moves at a slow pace, but it's really terrific.

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!

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

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

When you're making a television show, it's about the story and arc of the show rather than any particular episode or director.

When I was 22, I had this horrible psoriasis outbreak. It was all over my legs, I couldn't walk because my legs were cracked and bleeding. Weird things like that can happen to your body.
