There are a lot of parallels between doing a sequel and doing low budget movies, which is they give creative parameters. As a creative person myself, I work better with parameters as opposed to anything goes.

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.

With a sequel you're always trying to get bigger and better.

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

Sequels are desperate.

You sign for a sequel for everything these days, just in case, options. In the past, you avoided them like the plague because it meant somewhere down the road you couldn't take a job because you had to do a sequel. Now it's a feature of pretty much any feature you do.

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

The only reason ever to make a sequel is to spend more time with the characters that people love: to tell more of their story.

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