Hollywood wants to own everything. I don't want to own anything. I don't want people just to make content, I want to empower and teach them to create content they own that they can exploit in any medium.

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

Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.

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

Too many creative people don't wanna learn how to be technical, so what happens? They become dependent on technical people. Become technical. You can learn that. If you're creative and technical, you're unstoppable.

Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.
