People don't live in Austin to work, they work to live there.

I'm all about freedom in art. I'm from Texas, so when someone tells you which way to ride your horse, you think 'I'll just go to a different ranch. You guys are riding it backwards anyway.

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.

A lot of 3D movies have so much on the screen that you almost don't know where to look.

I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.

When you use the same actors a lot, you get to know them and you realize that one movie can't explore all the talent that they have. You really have to give them several different kinds of roles, in completely different movies, to push them and to push yourself.

I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.
