Yeah, we had to save time. We only have four days. So everything had to be very thought out to be like, boom, boom, boom. Let's shoot the money. Get him out of this. We don't have to spend a lot of money on him.

Yeah. That's their scent. And it's real. You don't have to dress it. And it's just right there. All you do is put like a little tube there, you know, like a, for his IV. And then you have a couple of nurses and it looks like. Genius. Resorts full, resourceful.

But I said, you're going to think about me when you're on your next meet the fuckers movie and you're on there for six months where they have you sitting in a trailer. I don't like to do that. So, you know, I gave Lady Gaga her first two movies. because after Machete, she said, publicly, she said, I saw Machete in my song, Americano, should have been in Machete. I thought, she saw Machete?

So I called her up and I said, hey, I'm making a sequel, and I would certainly use your music, but have you ever thought about acting? Because you're an amazing performer. I've worked with a lot of actors who are also musicians, and they're always great, because I already know how to be a persona, be on stage, be in front of a bunch of people, which most actors can't do.

And she said, actually, I studied acting before I became a singer. I said, well... You'll never be able to be in a movie because you know what? They don't know how to shoot people out. They want six months of your time and you're always on tour. But if you come be here, I have a part for you. I can shoot you out in half a day. This whole section of a movie and I'll shoot you a movie poster.

She's like, okay. So she shows up. I had all the sets, like a conveyor belt right next to each other. Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. She's in the car. That's why she had me do her music video for Rain On Me later. She said, we should just go to Austin. Robert, put me on a grease. I was throughout that whole movie. I don't know how we did that. It was half a day. She was there half a day.

I did the same for Sin City 2. I was like, I have a set here waiting for you. If you're on tour in Houston, just drive into Austin. I'll shoot you out in half a day. You get to be in a scene with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Sure.

You have to edit your own movie. I have this analogy. A food analogy that works really well. Script is like your grocery list. Filming is like grocery shopping. Getting the best performance is getting the best beat, getting the best ingredients, right?
