I hate the idea of sequels. I think you should be able to do it in one book.

Jane Gardam

I would happily have done any of the 'Bourne Identity' sequels. There are good sequels, but I'm not good at making them.

Harold Ramis

No one really knows the value of book tours. Whether or not they're good ideas, or if they improve book sales. I happen to think the author is the last person you'd want to talk to about a book. They hate it by that point; they've already moved on to a new lover. Besides, the author never knows what the book is about anyway.

Rosecrans Baldwin

I did not want to write one of those sequels that famous first-book authors get into where everybody says, 'Oh yeah.'

Robert M. Pirsig

Sequels are very rarely a good idea, and in any case, the success of the book changed my relationship with the club in some ways.

Nick Hornby

Sequels to most movies are always fluff and not as good as the first.

Ray Allen

I don't like sequels at all. If the movie's good the first time, why bother?

Michael Lehmann

I hate sequels.

Hal Needham

The first book was out and for the first time we were on a book tour. Being the son of an immigrant, I'd never dreamt of being on book tours. Suddenly the attention was huge.

Rene Redzepi

I'd love to see a good script of one of my books, in these years of animations and comic book sequels, and had so many written over the years, but none quite clicked.

Carl Hiaasen

I think true connectivity is something that is rare in sequels. I mean I love the first 'Die Hard' film; you won't find a bigger 'Die Hard' fan than me. But I feel like with the sequels, they're just taking that character and dropping him in different scenarios. There's no real connective tissue.

Leigh Whannell

I'm an audience member too, man. I hate shitty sequels.

Chad Stahelski

Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.

Andrew Stanton

The thing I do miss about the way some sequels were in the past was that each film felt like its own unique, complete tone. Now, sequels are tonal facsimiles of the ones before them, like a television series, whereas back in the past sequels would often be radically different from the ones before.

Panos Cosmatos

I take a firm stand against sequels. My industry brethren are a little shocked at how firmly I'm committed to not doing sequels.

Travis Knight

I remember going over proofs of this book - my first book - back in 2001, in a bar in Toronto called the 'Victory Cafe', and thinking sadly to myself, 'This is a very good manuscript but not a very good book.' I don't know what I meant by that, but I was pretty heartbroken and sure it was true.
