I'm from Boston, and in Boston, you are born with a baseball bat in your hand. And actually, most of the bats in Massachusetts are used off the field instead of on the field, and we all had baseball bats in our cars in high school.

You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.

For a long time, I had a crazy girl dating habit.

I hear what people say, I read all the reviews, all the blogs, and I am always curious to hear it, because you can't always listen to the good press, you have to hear the bad press, too.

If I don't come home covered head to toe in fake blood then I haven't done my job as a horror director.

If you don’t want to be scared in a horror film, don’t close your eyes. Close your ears.

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