You'd be lucky to get tortured to death in one of my films. It's the best thing that could happen to your career. But I'm very aware that as soon as you put women in this situation, all of a sudden people are like: "Wow, well wait a second!" Immediately, people become very sensitive to it.

I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.

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

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

'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.

You know, I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand.

When I'm filming a kill scene [as a director], I just get happier and happier as we chop up body parts.
