If somebody had started on a remake of French Kiss before I announced my own film, I would have dropped my subject. If someone else starts after me, what am I to do?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unless you have a real passion for making movies, then don't bother. I had to carry energy and light into every meeting, only to be told, 'We don't want you.' I couldn't take it personally. You just have to wait, and live for those moments when the casting director likes you.
You don't want to remake something that's just been made, as an actor.
I don't want to be too critical of what other people do, but when people go back to do the same thing that they did, I'm completely confused. I'm like, 'Didn't you make that movie already?' I've been very fortunate, and I'm well taken care of, so the least I can do is try to go forward.
There's only a certain number of movies I'm going to get made, and it's important to me that they each be original somehow.
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.
I'm not a big fan of remakes. I never wanted to do a remake.
That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
I don't remake any movie, whether old or of other language.
I sign a film based on the story, the role I play, and the maker.
You've got to just go do what you do - you can't really worry about who was attached to the movie before.
