I'm very much a leader in a lot of the work that I do or that I've done in my career.

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

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

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

Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice

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

I wish I was a guy who could have pancakes and bacon and cheesy eggs, but I'd curl up and pass out. I gotta start healthy or I'll be off the rails all day.

What's important is self-appreciation

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

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

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

Truth may start out timid, but it finishes bold.

I don't hate you. I love you and adore you because you are so innocent you don't know what you are doing.

Your unconscious wants to express the pain you feel about your own lost innocence. But your ego wants to keep it repressed. To the compromise is anxiety.

I like to practice being still and I feel like that promotes a lot of positivity.

I wonder how biology can explain the physical pain you feel in your chest when all you want to do is be with someone.

If you're living two lives and you're lying to everyone, you're bound to slip up, in some way, you're bound to get something wrong, and you're bound to get found out.

I actually had a chance to be in Delta Farce, but I couldn't do it because I read the script.

We have a Bill of Rights, we have trial by jury. We have a notion that you are - you're innocent until you're proven guilty. We have all these things.

I'm a simple man, and I use simple materials.

What could I do with $1 million? What can I do with the satisfaction that I perhaps today helped somebody to have a better life. That's real reward. The million dollars, nothing.
