“I collect a lot of art.”
“When you go off in the world and make your life, and you come back to your home town, and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles, doing the same things, that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block, little town. It doesn't really grow or change.”
“I want to push technology boundaries to be more efficient.”
“If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.”
“For me, Mexploitation seemed like something that should have existed, but didn't.”
“I have 5 children of my own. They are bilingual, like most second and third generations. But they speak primarily in English and they couldn't find anything on television that represented who they are in this country.”
“Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.”
“A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.”
“What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.”
“Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.”
“Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic.”
“I have so many friends who don't know how to cook.”
“When you put on the glasses in a 3-D movie they just kind of sit there and you forget about them.”
