Sequels are desperate.

I suppose sequels are inevitable for a writer of a certain age.

I think sequels are fine if there's a story, so I think when there is a property that is worthy of a sequel, it could very well happen!

I don't know if I would do sequels. I almost feel like when I'm done with them, they're going to have to find their own way.

I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.

I hate the idea of sequels. I think you should be able to do it in one book.

By definition a sequel can't be original. So you've got to figure out what worked the first time around.

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

There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.
