No matter how successful the remake is, it seems to me it's forgotten quickly after and it's the original that still lives on.

Even a low-budget film costs way more money than a high-priced record. So, it's mo' money, mo' problems. When you have more money, it just creates more people trying to get involved and you have more trouble.

It's never been about making money.

I'm sick of remakes, how about something different. That's the thing - people always come to me and are like 'what do you want to remake, we know we can get that greenlight, what do you want to make?' I don't want to remake a g-d damn focking think.

The hardest part was convincing people that I was serious. The people were like 'you want to do this again'?

Dreaming be damned, this is control. Raping your soul, devil's hole.

People have this delusion that everything has to be for everybody at all times. Every album must be liked by everybody, and every TV show must be liked by everybody, and every movie must be liked by everybody. Everything then becomes bland.
