The Joe Rogan Experience
#2310 - Robert Rodriguez

So I would draw on different cards, different drawings. And every day I had to come up with a comedic idea and a drawing and a story. And it was tough. You'd have to draw it out. And you would sometimes make two drawings that you really liked and go, oh, this kind of is the setup. One, two, three, pay off for the joke here. And they'd come up with it like that. So I kind of use it for everything.

Oh, fix your life completely because there's another question. It's just questions you're asking yourself. And the amazing thing is once you start doing stories – that's why I like doing a lot of original franchises. I probably made the most original franchises of a film because I don't usually direct other people's stuff – Because you realize you're creating this story.

Like, I just made this guy's destiny happen. And I can give him a good outcome or a bad outcome. It's in my control. And you realize you can do that with your own life. So you're writing the story of your own life of who you're going to become, who you're going to be. And as a parallel. And you realize you've got that power.

And when you realize you've got that power, you can make literally anything happen. And you realize art and life should be the same. You know, so many people, I was telling this story to somebody and they said, wow, you're really positive. And that kind of makes a lot of sense. You know, I have a project that's pretty much all together. Almost the pieces are there. But I guess I'm just not ready.

It's going to be on your tombstone. Here lies so-and-so. He was never ready. You can't wait to go do it. Like, life, you don't know what's going to happen. You wanted to work out today. What happens? Bunch of shit, right? Got in the way. Your tire's flat. Fires went up. You just got fired. You're not ready for life. You're like this.

But for some reason, people or artists think that they need to be ready to create art. It's like, no, you've got to jump in and just start. You just need to start. You're not going to really feel ready until you're almost done with a project. I didn't feel ready to make that $7,000 movie until the last few days when I was like, okay, now I wrap my head around it. I have to figure it out day by day.
