Turin, I believe it's in the conversation between Gandalf and Frodo in the
Shadow of the Past. Sauron for some reason wants to gather all the rings. He's already got the nine, he's got the dwarven rings that weren't eaten by dragons, and he's been looking for the three. However, whatever his plans are with the rings of power, won't matter if he gets the one back. I think he just wanted all the rings as in a way to be more powerful

"So it is now: the Nine he has gathered to himself; the Seven also, or else they are destroyed. The Three are hidden still. But that no longer troubles him. He only needs the One; for he made that ring himself, it is his, and he let a great part of his own former power pass into it, so that he could rule all the others."~Gandalf, The Shadow of the Past.

I think it's just Sauron trying to gather whatever power that he can from the rings that are left, but now that he's getting closer to catching The One, the other rings don't matter.
alatar, very neat post about addiction. In an interview with Andy Serkis he said he did Gollum's character based off a person addicted to drugs or alcohol. That's how Gollum was, only instead of drugs/alcohol he had a ring addiction, and on a side note I think Serkis nailed the role well.
