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.

More quotes by Robert Rodriguez
If you're just creative, you'll always have to rely on technical people. If you're creative and technical, you're unstoppable.
Robert Rodriguez
The accidents are things that audiences always remember most, I've found on my own movies. The things that they like the most are the things that were just by accident. So you have to create a situation where nothing but accidents can happen the entire time.
Robert Rodriguez
There are real issues going on in just about any movie that's got fun elements to it.
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
I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.
Robert Rodriguez
I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.
Robert Rodriguez
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.
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 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
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
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
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.
Robert Rodriguez
I don't think anyone can be more of a predator than a human being.
Robert Rodriguez
Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.
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
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
I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.
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
I was from such a large family that when I first met my wife, I told her: 'You can go work outside of the house and I'll stay home and continue making my cartoon strips. Maybe I'll make some commercials nearby, you know I'll do anything locally, but I would love to just stay at home and raise the kids like I did when I was growing up.'
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
