More quotes by 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
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
Tell everyone that your mistakes are art. You can get away with a lot that way.
Robert Rodriguez
You create superheroes to take care of problems that can't really be solved another way.
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
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
A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.
Robert Rodriguez
A lot of 3D movies have so much on the screen that you almost don't know where to look.
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 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
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.
Robert Rodriguez
There are real issues going on in just about any movie that's got fun elements to it.
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
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
