Robert Rodriguez

I know you all want to give me 80, but I want to be a hero and come in at 50 because one, it'll make it better. And then two, you'll make three of them instead of just one. I don't want to just go spend the farm. And how many filmmakers would do that? Don't try to get as much money as they can. But when you're spending less, it's a win-win situation.

And you have more creative freedom because they're going to leave you alone. You can do whatever you want. So I like the creative limitations that come from less money. That's why I like brass knuckle films. We're going to make them for less so that they are better. Not to make them shitty. So many people have come up to me and said, you know what part I love in your movie? Tell me some scene.

And I'm like, oh, well, that's because we ran out of sun. And we had to do that jump with just... him jumping on a pad three times or whatever it is, it's something that you fumbled together. And that's what they're drawn to. They're drawn to that imperfect thing.

And so I wouldn't judge it because somebody's, you know, if you called your movie shitty, that's like John Carpenter saying, yeah, nobody liked the thing. And it's a shitty movie and everyone hated it. So it must not be good. And then 10 years later, it's a masterpiece. So don't judge it because of you. Words we use on ourselves are very powerful.

So if you say, well, you know, I'm kind of an artist sometimes. I make a lot of shitty stuff. Well, that's going to be your lot in life. You know, I'm in pretty good shape for a director. It's not because I'm operating the camera, because I work out, right? But I always hated working out. I was not into sports. I was a filmmaker. I was a cartoonist. In high school, I was really tall.

They would say, come work, come be in our team. We need, it's a small school. We need you. And I'm like, I don't know how to play any of these things.

There's a line in the faculty that was my line to my coaches when they would say, you got to come run with everybody. I would say, I don't think a person should run unless he's being chased. I gave that to the Elijah Wood character because that's the guy I identified with. He's there with his camera. And that was me. So I hated it.
