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

Anytime you're the first to speak out against something, there's going to be a backlash.

When I was filming the death scene [in Inglourious Basterds], and I'm killing somebody, I had to work myself up.

'Troll 2' is one of the rare sequels where you don't have to waste time watching the first one, since the films have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.

I think that horror films have a very direct relationship to the time in which they're made. The films that really strike a film with the public are very often reflecting something that everyone, consciously or unconsciously feeling - atomic age, post 9-11, post Iraq war; it's hard to predict what people are going to be afraid of.

I love movies. I mean, I really, really love movies.
