Very few people have a lot of time to dedicate to one hobby. I was fortunate to have started so young, because when you're young you have nothing but time. Hours and hours to burn up on something as silly as a movie.

Don't look at all at what other people are doing. Think of what you're doing as completely fresh because if you imitate you're dead.

The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.

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

When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.

People talk about immigration, but they won't talk about the corruption that actually exists between Mexico and the U.S.

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.
