Robert Rodriguez Quotations | Page 2

I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.

I collect a lot of art.

For me, Mexploitation seemed like something that should have existed, but didn't.

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.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.

A lot of 3D movies have so much on the screen that you almost don't know where to look.

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.

There are real issues going on in just about any movie that's got fun elements to it.

When given an opportunity, deliver excellence and never quit.

Changing the game is a mindset.

When you take technology and mix it with art, you always come up with something innovative.

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.

Tell everyone that your mistakes are art. You can get away with a lot that way.

Creativity, not money, is used to solve problems.

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.

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.

Ever director has at least 10 bad films in them.

If you're just creative, you'll always have to rely on technical people. If you're creative and technical, you're unstoppable.

Only by seeking challenges can we hope to find the best in ourselves.
