If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.

Changing the game is a mindset.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream world, because it doesn't always seem too logical how things work out.

You create superheroes to take care of problems that can't really be solved another way.

Low budgets force you to be more creative. Sometimes, with too much money, time and equipment, you can over-think. My way, you can use your gut instinct.

It's easier making a smaller film like El Mariachi. There are no budget worries because there is no budget. There is no crew problem because there is no crew. And if you screw up, no one is around to see you screw up -- so it's no longer a screw up.

A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.
