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 had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn’t like someone handed it to me.

It’s not hard to keep up the image we chose. It’s not hard to stay yourselves.

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

What’s important is self-appreciation.

With the Internet, kids today learn things quicker than we do and they have everything there is to see, so you have to do more than just remake some old ’70s film.

There’s a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don’t execute well.

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

I didn’t have big movie offers, or any big agents wanting to work with me. I had to go grassroots, start at the bottom and go on 150 auditions before someone finally gave me a shot.

I’m a fan of good horror movies.

It’s rare that I come across actors who are willing to work as hard on the material as I am.

In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.

The food in Europe is pretty disappointing. I like fried chicken. But other than that Europe is great.

I go wild on a stage. Some folks have measured us an image. They pretend us to be saints. And that image is much tougher to keep up with. Because that’s not who we are.

We’re entertainers, while people want us to be gods.

In the end I’m the only one who knows me.

Look, we are a rock group. But you should see all those things in perspective. People tend to blow up everything into ridiculous proportions. And then the fun is gone real soon.

I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That’s kind of what I bring to the table.

For young filmmakers, Saw is a perfect film. It doesn’t cost the GNP of almost every country of the world.

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.

Ultimately in the end, it’s the director’s choice.
