I was working at 'New Girl' when I found out there was going to be a 'Pitch' sequel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After 'Pitch Perfect,' I only want to be in sequels. No. 2 of whatever.
If 'New Girl' had been a movie, I don't know whether I would have been given the opportunity to do it.
The greatest thing about 'New Girl' is that you never can predict what is next!
'Pitch Perfect' was my first screenplay, so it was like my little baby.
'Pitch Perfect 2' is about the Bellas and what happens to them as they get older. All your favorite characters are coming back. Chrissie Fit was great, and Hailee Steinfeld is such a pro - she fit right in. I had no idea she was 17! She's the most mature girl ever.
'New Girl' is how I make my living, and if I'm going to do a movie, it's because I really, artistically, want to do it.
Coming back to 'New Girl' was a real reminder of how lucky I am to be on a popular network TV show.
I'm not really a sequel guy. I did 'Angels & Demons' after 'The Da Vinci Code,' because I like working with Hanks, and I felt it was a really different sort of world that we were visiting. That was, of itself, interesting.
The one thing I loved so much about making 'Pitch Perfect 2' - especially in comparison to a movie like 'Ten Thousand Saints' - is you can go and be yourself, and you just know that all your weirdness and craziness and imperfections are completely embraced and accepted.
By definition a sequel can't be original. So you've got to figure out what worked the first time around.
