Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.

As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.

The censors were great. There's always back and forth. But it's 'Hostel 2', it's not 'Happy Feet 2'. Everybody knows what Hostel is and people that are going to see it are going for more of what they loved in the original. No one is accidentally going to walk into it, no parent is accidentally going to take their child, and we're not pretending what it is in the advertising. We're saying it's very violent, it's very scary and a continuation of the first one.

Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'

Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops.

Sometimes you have this tragedy which turns into an incredible opportunity.
