“I saw 'Alien' when I was 8 years old. To me, it was like a combination...” — Eli Roth Quote

“I saw 'Alien' when I was 8 years old. To me, it was like a combination of Jaws and Star Wars, and that's the movie that made me want to be a director.”

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

“I get a little too obsessive with work.”

“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.”

“Lucio Fulci is such a massively underrated director. Everyone knows him as the Godfather of Gore.”

“I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.”

“Doing 'Prometheus' was what you imagine being an actor is like when you're five. In a spacesuit, on another planet, getting killed by an alien. It was a real treat; it felt like being a part of movie history.”

“I just watch movies I like over and over. It seems to be a lot of sci-fi stuff. My favorites are probably - besides the first two 'Alien' films, I watch '2001', I watch 'Star Wars', the first ones, because those actually had a huge effect on me as well, 'Empire Strikes Back' especially.”

“When you die, I think you re-live your life in a different dimension, in a different world but I don't believe in aliens.”

“I hear all the time that boys don't like stories about girls. Which never made much sense to me. Wasn't 'Terminator' about a girl? And 'Alien'? Hell, I grew up on 'The Wizard of Oz.' People enjoy stories about anything if they're good stories.”

“It's like a childish dream come true to be in 'Doctor Who' and to be an alien.”

“I have been the last space marine between earth and an alien invasion. I really just don't need to go there anymore.”
