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.

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

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.

Maybe they did what they had to do to live, and tried to get a little love and have a little fun before the darkness took them.

We men had a meeting a long time ago, and we all decided, 'It's trousers'. And that's what we've worn ever since.

Children born of Spirit have one Spiritual Father.

I think it's the curse of being creative, sadness is always your pal.

A slander is like a hornet if you cannot kill it dead the first blow better not strike at it.

To each their own. One must live each day so that there are no regrets.

Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.

One always has to spoil a picture a little bit, in order to finish it.

There's some invisible guy, up in the sky, who can kill you, because he loves you.

Mostly, though, I dream of good things...I dream that flowers will bloom in the streets..again and music will play in the...houses and kites will fly in the skies.
