Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.

Sometimes a movie series that becomes popular can be a blessing and curse because you get known for that. People don't give you a chance, after that... I'm a big proponent of getting somebody that you always admire and giving them a chance to do something else because they can redefine themselves.

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

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.

Too many creative people don't wanna learn how to be technical, so what happens? They become dependent on technical people. Become technical. You can learn that. If you're creative and technical, you're unstoppable.

Anyone who can only write about themselves or their life experiences, in my mind, isn't a very good writer.

I wish I could freeze time or go back in time and watch my kids grow up all over again because it is just going by too fast.
