In high school, I was one of the cofounders of New Kids on the Block my freshman year in high school. But I also started studying theatre in high school my freshman year as well. So throughout high school, I was actually doing both.

I'm not a big fan of table reads or sitting around a table and reading a script. I'd rather do it on set and do it for real.

I love food shows: Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Chopped, you name it.

If I wanted to connect like I do now, I'd have to write 500,000 letters, get 500,000 stamps, send them out and wait for them all to come back. This stuff is instantaneous. I can see if someone is having a bad day and send them a smiley face and have an effect on them. It's fun, but it's also a very powerful thing.

At the core of these movies, Saw One and Saw Two, it's a very real situation. A guy cheats on his wife and didn't value what he had. It's the same thing in my story. Being a dad and playing someone whose last words to his son were 'go to hell'. I say to my son, the last thing I say is 'I love you'.

It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.

When you grow up in a city like Boston, where I grew up, a lot of kids became criminals or cops. I never really had a bad take on cops other than I hate when there's one behind me on the highway.

I love the rush of being creative. I really think I live for it.

We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic, but that wasn't that important to me, because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.

I like being a leader in real life.

We just constantly worked on second Saw film, it's not an Academy award level film, but we worked as hard we could to make it plausible.

A lot of kids do look up to us. But there are just as many elderly people to put us down.

If you are succesfull for 20 years, you can't expect to stay on the same level all through that period. A career has its ups and downs and in-betweens.

You can't control what people gravitate to and what they don't. We can only control the work that we do and try to give it the best that we can.
