I look at careers like Ben Stiller and think that's a great career to have where you're doing movies that you write and direct, and also act in films, although he's primarily an actor.

You know, the best thing you can say about a horror film is, 'Don't see it.'

All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: "Nobody wants violence."

I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.

I have control issues. For sure, no question.

Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and people said: "Wait a minute, he's actually smart and he knows what he's doing!" I feel that with Hostel, any time you make a film like that it's going to illicit a strong reaction and you can't worry about that.

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