Quotes about: Film

• I'm a character and relationship guy, and even with the 'Saw' films, it's special-effects people's jobs to create these scary things. It's not my job. My job is to bring some sense of humanity to the character, no matter how evil he may be. The script is going to take me there.

Sometimes that energy gets infused into what ends up on film - it's interesting in that way.
