I think we'll all keep pushing each other, which is a great thing.

The success of the second 'Austin Powers' caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better.

I figure if it's turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it's hard to really picture the DVD version when I'm in production.

I'm not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director's cut of these things. So far they've turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.

I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience.

I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.

The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD.

We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.

I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.

When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.

Mini-Me was the pint sized clone that was the perpetuation of Dr. Evil's own legacy [in Austin Powers]. That concept earned the sequel.

A miracle is often the willingness to see the common in an uncommon way.

Intentions of a man reflects in his actions.

As in twitter if you follow happiness... Happiness will follow you back

World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation.

Ain't no right way to do the wrong thing.

My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.

The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him.

The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.

A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number.

It doesn't matter how long you forget, only how soon you remember!
