One of the great elements of the supernatural is having that mystery and letting people's imaginations run wild with it.

I feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.

I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought; after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.

Quentin Tarantino assistant called me and said: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is you got the part, the bad news is you have to do it." I was like: "Oh Jesus, when am I supposed to do this?" I was prepping Hostel.

I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can't always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too.

Quentin Tarantino faced the same backlash when his films came out until eventually people felt they were actually much smarter.

I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.
