I think that many people are ashamed when they feel afraid. There's this thing in our society that you're not allowed to feel scared. You have to be a man and put on a brave face, but we all have fears.

Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.

I started the film [Hostel Part II]with the girls in an art class and there's a nude male model. People think that women are objectified, well here you go! Here's a man being objectivized but now it's under the guise of art.

Hopefully we'll get to a point where people realize movies don't cause violence. It just reflects the violence going on in the culture.

I think you should make movies as long as the story dictates.

Quentin Tarantino faced the same backlash when his films came out until eventually people felt they were actually much smarter.

I've always dreamed of having a year-round haunted house.
