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

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

I look at careers like Ben Stiller and think that's a great career to have where you're doing movies that you write and direct, and also act in films, although he's primarily an actor.

I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.

Twitter is wonderful. You can kill rumours instantly.

'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.

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.
