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.

Ever director has at least 10 bad films in them.

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

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

I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.

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

All those years I had been making movies because I loved movies, and that's what made all the difference. If you're doing it because you love it you can succeed because you'll work harder than anyone else around you, take on challenges no one else would dare take, and come up with methods no one else would discover, especially when their prime drive is fame and fortune. All that will follow later if you really love what you do. Because your work will speak itself.
