“'Saw' really was like a student film for me; we expected it to go stra...” — James Wan Quote

'Saw' really was like a student film for me; we expected it to go straight to video. I never expected anyone to see that film, and then it becomes one of the most successful horror franchises.

I'm a big fan of suspense and tension filmmaking, and that was my goal with 'The Conjuring.'

I believe in spirits. I believe in faith. I believe in spirituality. I believe in aliens as well.

The thing that ultimately pushed me more towards 'Aquaman' is I love the possibility of creating a whole new world. I've always wanted to do a world creation story and visually create this amazing, incredible, magical kingdom.

I love a ghost story. I think they affect me more than other people that are much more skeptical than I am. I think that it's good that I do buy into them to some degree.

I always lived by railroads, and I would find places to just look at the horizon, and I always expected there was something somewhere else. And sometimes I think that's more a metaphysical somewhere else rather than just to get out of the town.

I've always been a risk taker; I've never believed in following the expected path.

My high school was a private school where you went to an Ivy League. That's just what was expected of you and nothing less. So I grew up never being okay with a 'B' because a 'B' was not good enough.

I know some people expected me to be a Ballon d'Or winner.

When I did 'Horses,' I never expected to make another album.
