Imagine Trying To Relive Your Worst Break-up,

I Think That Horror Films Have A Very Direct Relationship To The Time In Which They're Made. The Films That Really Strike A Film With The Public Are Very Often Reflecting Something That Everyone, Consciously Or Unconsciously Feeling - Atomic Age, Post 9-11, Post Iraq War; It's Hard To Predict What People Are Going To Be Afraid Of.

It's Very Flattering To Feel Like You Actually Helped Create A Sub-genre.

Quentin Tarantino Assistant Called Me And Said: "i Have Good News And Bad News. The Good News Is You Got The Part, The Bad News Is You Have To Do It." I Was Like: "oh Jesus, When Am I Supposed To Do This?" I Was Prepping Hostel.

You Do Need An Outlet To Release All Of Those Fears. You Build It Up And Then, When You Go To A Movie Theater, It's The Last Place That It's Socially Acceptable To Be Terrified. It's Saying That, For The Next 90 Minutes, You're Allowed To Be Afraid And You're Not A Coward For Feeling That Way.

When I Was 22, I Had This Horrible Psoriasis Outbreak. It Was All Over My Legs, I Couldn't Walk Because My Legs Were Cracked And Bleeding. Weird Things Like That Can Happen To Your Body.
