You can't dictate if a character's going to come off as sympathetic to an audience. I just tried to play it as honest as possible.

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

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.

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.

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'.

When New Kids became really successful, I got a lot of offers to do parts in movies and TV shows, but I was really busy, so I pretty much turned everything down. But I always knew it was something that I would eventually put some energy into.
