There's no master plan; I'm just going with what I'm inspired to do and what I get asked to do, and luckily the things I've been the most passionate about, I've gotten to do. And a lot of times I've gone up for movies that I didn't really care that much about, and I never got that.

I'm not a big fan of remakes. I never wanted to do a remake.

Personally, I'm not too fond of remakes.
