What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.

My parents love it! They're on set. They make cameos in the movie. My father is a psycho-analyst and a professor at Harvard and he told me how many of the other professors at Harvard have gone and seen it. They love 'Hostel' and they love the thought behind it.

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

If you are having fun on the set, you are not getting things done.

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

The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.

I have a strong art-history background.
