More quotes by Robert Rodriguez
If you want to be a rock star, you're not going to just walk on stage. You gotta go practice in the garage until your fingers bleed. I always say that - the same with writing and the same with filmmaking - if it's really your passion, you've just got to stick with it and do it.
Robert Rodriguez
Low budgets force you to be more creative. Sometimes, with too much money, time and equipment, you can over-think. My way, you can use your gut instinct.
Robert Rodriguez
There are real issues going on in just about any movie that's got fun elements to it.
Robert Rodriguez
When you take technology and mix it with art, you always come up with something innovative.
Robert Rodriguez
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.
Robert Rodriguez
I don't think anyone can be more of a predator than a human being.
Robert Rodriguez
I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.
Robert Rodriguez
I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.
Robert Rodriguez
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.
Robert Rodriguez
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.
Robert Rodriguez
I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making movies.
Robert Rodriguez
A movie goes from several stages, from idea to script. As you continue shooting, you will make some adjustments. You're constantly adjusting. It's like a piece of music. You're constantly trying to make it better.
Robert Rodriguez
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.
Robert Rodriguez
Tell everyone that your mistakes are art. You can get away with a lot that way.
Robert Rodriguez
I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you're going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot.
Robert Rodriguez
Hollywood wants to own everything. I don't want to own anything. I don't want people just to make content, I want to empower and teach them to create content they own that they can exploit in any medium.
Robert Rodriguez
Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.
Robert Rodriguez
Any time you do action and horror, you've always got to try to find a way to make it fresh for the audience, but also for yourself, and there are so many different ways to freak people out and create tension.
Robert Rodriguez
Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.
Robert Rodriguez
What could make my life better? Oh, if I could only find that magic bottle that lets you never have to sleep. I have so much stuff I wanna do, but... That six or seven hours you have to be in bed with your eyes closed. What a waste!
Robert Rodriguez
