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

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.

I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful.

Obviously, if people love a movie, and it has the possibility of continuation, then there is going to be a question of whether it's worth doing another one. There's also cynicism and skepticism about sequels.

To do a sequel is so weird, you don't really think about it.

I mean, frankly, I'm not speaking as a representative of Disney or Pixar, I'm speaking as just myself as a filmmaker: I don't go into anything that often thinking about a sequel.

It's always scary when you're doing a sequel to a film, because you don't want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different, and something that actually expands the world of the main character.

The biggest difference in writing a sequel is that now there are expectations. But also - and this is the awesome part - now there are fans, too!

A lot of people ask for sequels, but what they really want is just to know the characters are happy and safe.
