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.

I definitely want to produce more because I have a bunch of projects that I've either written or half written and I want to continue developing them and if cant direct one right away cause I'm doing something else I will love to still see it get made.

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

That six or seven hours you have to be in bed with your eyes closed. What a waste!

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

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

It's easier making a smaller film like El Mariachi. There are no budget worries because there is no budget. There is no crew problem because there is no crew. And if you screw up, no one is around to see you screw up -- so it's no longer a screw up.
