The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.

One of the great joys of life, now that you can afford a nice suit, is getting one for free. That's why I like to do press tours - I always say making movies is just an excuse to get free clothing.

Borat shows American stereotypes of Eastern Europe but it's an accurate depiction of what a certain type of American is. They think they can buy and sell these girls and then they get bought and sold.

I want to have an ending where people say: "That's the most shocking ending I've ever seen in a mainstream horror film."

Chile could work as a double for L.A.; it's very production-friendly and there's terrific talent down there.

I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.

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.
