Age, Children, Youth

It's absolutely of no importance who or what V was under the mask. He isn't a who or a what, he's an idea. The thing is, you couldn't continue it. Now and then the idea of a sequel has been raised, in vague forms, but I think it would be a bad idea. The story's finished.
David Lloyd

Bad, Idea, Story

Sigourney Weaver

Person, Done, Proud

The first sequel thing I wrote was this 'Forever Dawn' thing that will never get out, because it's horrid. But it's a really good outline for 'Breaking Dawn' - it's very similar. I knew what I was doing, which is good, because I think if I hadn't, there might have been a lot of pressure.
Stephenie Meyer

Good, Might, Knew

And I plan to write a sequel to Dragon Rider.
Cornelia Funke

Write, Plan, Dragon

Jeff Daniels

Long, Hard, Working

Don Bluth

Money, Made, Why

Simon Pegg

Damage, Adding, Product

You never know in a movie if it's going to be a sequel, but right now I'm proud of what we produced.

Andrew Stanton

Mean, Thinking, Often

Jay Roach

Good, Character, Same

John and I had a few meetings about what direction the sequel should take. I made some real insane suggestions. True to what you'd expect, he ignored them all and just picked up Halloween II where the original left off.
Donald Pleasence

True, Real, Made

As far as I know, the guys at Pixar are opposed to a Monsters, Inc. sequel.
John Goodman

Far, Guys, Monsters

There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well.
Donnie Wahlberg

Real, Quite, Danger

I would love to see a sequel to 'The Rocketeer.' I'd love to see that! I don't know that I would be in it. I may be a little long in the tooth to play 'The Rocketeer.' But I would love to be a part of that in some form or fashion.
Billy Campbell

Love, Long, May

We all approached doing a sequel with great trepidation and skepticism.
Jason Biggs

Great, Skepticism, Approached

Graham Nelson

Time, Makes, Getting

I finished my first novel - it was around 300 pages long - when I was 16. Wrote one more before I got out of high school, then wrote the first Lincoln Perry novel when I was 19. It didn't sell, but I liked the character and I knew the world so I tried what was, in my mind, a sequel. Wrote that when I was 20, and that one made it.
Michael Koryta

School, Character, Mind

I am writing a sequel to The Touch because I want to further explore the Chinese question that I have raised. There will be more about that in a sequel.
Colleen McCullough

Writing, Question, Touch

'Celebrate' is meant to be a guide to party planning and, as such, it has to cover the basics. If I were to write a cookery book, for instance, I would be compelled to say that, to make an omelette, you have to break at least one egg. Actually, that's not a bad idea. Or maybe I should write a sequel and call it 'Bottoms Up?'
Pippa Middleton

Bad, Book, Write
