Tobin Bell’s 5 most popular quotes
- One of the interesting things about ‘Saw’ is that you don’t find out about things in sequential or linear order. One of the things that fans have liked a lot is, we don’t forget about details. They come back and reveal themselves as the story evolves.
- Actors have seven tracks going in their minds: They’ve got all the research they’ve done for the part, then they have whatever the director asked them to do, then they’ve got what the departments like special effects need them to do.
- In the the late seventies and early eighties, I played background roles in thirty movies… Woody Allen movies, Scorsese films, you name it. Whatever was being shot in New York, I was doing stand-in and background work because I wanted to be close to the camera; I wanted to see what was going on.
- ‘Saw’ is like a big jigsaw puzzle. When you put a jigsaw puzzle together, you put the bottom left corner together first, and then you find yourself working on the upper right corner… That’s the way ‘Saw’ plays out.
- An actor puts himself in the hands of a director. And the director’s first responsibility, obviously, is to tell the story, but the smallest thing that’s not true reads on the screen. So if a director sees that an actor is not believable, he needs to help him become believable.
