I'm not a big fan of remakes. I never wanted to do a remake.

There are a lot of movies that I don't care about, especially not remakes.

Nobody does remakes for the sake of it. As for me, I have not hard and fast rules with respect to remakes.

It's always that tricky thing with a remake, especially when it's something that's well loved. You're coming to something that has a built-in fascination, but with that comes people ready to feel disgruntled that it's being remade at all.

I would never try and do a remake off a movie. I think that's a whole different thing. I think everyone will always remember the first movie, and they will always compare it with the second one.

Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?

If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.

If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic.

The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original. It's like peanut butter. If you try to change the taste of peanut butter, you're in trouble.

I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
