I will never write a sequel to anything that I will ever write.

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

If I do do a sequel, I'm going to have to know for sure that the script is better than the original. So I'm going to be very careful about that because I'm not eager to repeat myself.

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

I don't remake any movie, whether old or of other language.

To do a sequel is so weird, you don't really think about it.

When you're writing for a sequel and there's a movie that's been deemed sacred ground by the fanbase that's the predecessor, you cannot do anything to tread on that, so it's a bit trickier than just being able to sit down and write something.

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

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.
