To some degree, this re-release is to let people remember what the first 'Saw' film was, and let them know there was a time in the 'Saw' history where it wasn't all about blood and traps.

I try to keep the number of projects I'm involved in down to one per year.

I've always loved action movies. The first films I fell in love with were 'Star Wars' and Steven Spielberg films.

'Poltergeist' was the film that scarred me for life. I saw it at such a young age - 5 or 6 years old - and it has one of the creepiest doll sequences with the clown, and ever since then, I've just been fascinated by dolls.

I love high concept movies, but they can only work if the source of inspiration is really human - if they're driven by pain and strong emotions. Once you connect the audience with that, then I swear you can take them on the craziest journey, and they'll come along.

I like the 'Twilight' films.

I think I'm a very sentimental person. Conscious or not, that's what draws me to the kind of films I want to make.

Favorite movie of all time? I hate being asked... that's like being asked, 'What's your favorite song?'

I always try to better myself with every movie I make. I don't take anything sitting back, and so I try to learn from every film I make and carry that onto the next movie because I think it's important as a filmmaker to keep growing with each film, and I think I am growing with each movie.

I've made one action movie. But nobody saw it, so I guess that doesn't count for most people.
