I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you're going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot.

What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.

If you want to be a rock star, you're not going to just walk on stage. You gotta go practice in the garage until your fingers bleed. I always say that - the same with writing and the same with filmmaking - if it's really your passion, you've just got to stick with it and do it.

For me, Mexploitation seemed like something that should have existed, but didn't.

Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.

When you go off in the world and make your life, and you come back to your home town, and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles, doing the same things, that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block, little town. It doesn't really grow or change.

I wish I could freeze time or go back in time and watch my kids grow up all over again because it is just going by too fast.
