The 'Saw' sequels went in a direction I wouldn't have gone in. With 'Insidious 2,' I wanted to push a potential franchise in the direction I thought it should go in.

I had the greatest time of my life making 'Saw 3.' More fun than '2' for sure.

I've always made sequels, even when I was making Super 8 movies if the audience liked it.

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.

To do a sequel is so weird, you don't really think about it.

I've made some movies that I really loved that nobody saw.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.

I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.

'Saw,' in many ways, was like my student film. The first crappy student film you don't really want people to see.

I never actually plan sequels. They demand to be done.
