I always say that you should remake flops, not hits.

You learn more from the flops than from the hits.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.

When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.

When you do a remake, there's a lot of pressure because people always love the original.

There are flip-flips and there are flip-flops and there are FLIP-FLOPS. Some are well made. Some are so flimsy. Some are just inexpensive and they break easily.
