Every movie has its uniqueness. You just do your best and go with it.

With every film, I try and give the audiences a little more than the previous film in terms of comedy, action, drama and so on.

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.

Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.

'Napoleon Dynamite' blew up my career.

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.

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.

You hear again and again that audiences want to see movies that are different, and critics say we make the same thing again and again in Hollywood, then you go and make something different, and you get kicked in the gut for it.

Movie-wise, there is nothing I wouldn't do again. It's not possible to make one perfect movie every time.

The idea of 'Napoleon Dynamite' as an animated series made perfect sense to me.
