“You know, I think the first and second one were terrific. But, the third one, I thought my part was not written well. I didn’t believe that I had any value in the movie. I love the franchise, by the way. I think it’s a spectacular franchise. I think that Sly has good ideas, what he wants to do with it, and I think if they write a really good script in which my part is very well-developed, I would do it. If not, then I won’t do it.”
