I never actually plan sequels. They demand to be done.

I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.

Sequels are not done for the audience or cinema or the filmmakers. It's for the distributor. The film becomes a brand.

I don't know if I would do sequels. I almost feel like when I'm done with them, they're going to have to find their own way.

I don't write any kind of sequel or remake.

The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.

You have to be very careful when you're working on a sequel, because it has to be a continuation of what you did before.

I think sequels are fine if there's a story, so I think when there is a property that is worthy of a sequel, it could very well happen!

By definition a sequel can't be original. So you've got to figure out what worked the first time around.

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.
