Producing suits me because I have a business mind and a business sensibility.

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.

It is my toughest time but the greatest.

Every Christian who studies history can only grieve over the atrocities that have been committed in the name of God by people who refuse to follow His ways.

Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony.

I don't mind a bit being labelled a suicide.

We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say.

Know your genre. Know your history. Read a book.

That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.

What really amazed me was when I sent a suit out for cleaning, forgetting that $700 was in the pocket. They sent the suit back to me. If that happened in New York, both money and suit would be gone.

I could be 80 tomorrow and I'd still be okay. It's all the way you think about things.

My great wish is to go on in a strict but silent performance of my duty; to avoid attracting notice, and to keep my name out of the newspapers.
