If you create a good story that has a lot of story value I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.

I don't think anyone can be more of a predator than a human being.

Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.

Don't be told something is impossible. There's always a way.

Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.

We [Rodriguez and Frank Miller] wanted to take the movies and turn them into a graphic novel, so that people wouldn't even know what they were looking at. It's still visual storytelling, but it's approached completely different. The two mediums don't have to be separate mediums. They can be one and the same.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.
