Robert Rodriguez

I can do that all day long. And then that gets out of your way because then somebody who comes to you and they go, really love that part where the explosion is. Oh, well, that was an accident because I didn't get what I really wanted. And I had to make this work. And that was an accident. They like those acts. They respond to those accidents in a big way. because they're from another universe.

They're the part that's magic. The part you didn't know and the part you couldn't have predicted. And so if you set up, I purposely make my budgets smaller and my shooting schedules shorter so that more of that stuff happens because that's the stuff people will relate to and it gives you complete creative freedom. Like you have a lot of creative freedom here.

I probably the director who's worked with the most outcast, ostracized or people who are considered difficult than any other filmmaker, mainly because I'm independent and I don't have to listen to a studio if they're like, oh, you can't work with that person. So like Mel Gibson. Couldn't get a job back when I hired him on. I was just always a big fan of his.

I always look at creativity first and talent first. Bullshit controversy. Not even distance. It's not even considered. And I get to work with these amazing people. Steven Seagal, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan. And then people who are considered difficult were like Michael Parks. I got this from Quentin. Michael Parks was in... Dustle Dawn, he's the sheriff at the beginning. The Texas Ranger.

Quentin said, man, I love this guy, Michael Parks. He was going to be the next James Dean. He had a show on TV in the 70s called Then Came Bronson. But then he kind of got difficult for people to work with, and so he was relegated to these low-budget grindhouse films. But check him out. He's always really great. I want to put him in Dustle Dawn. But here he's my difficult to work with.

You work with him first. And if he's great to work with... I'll work with him. I was like, all right, sure. So I worked with him. It was a dream. It was amazing. He was really great. No bullshit. Of all the people like that, and then we both kept putting him in movies. Mickey Rourke was considered, he couldn't work, he couldn't get a job. I gave him Once Upon a Time.

But once I met him, I was like, oh my God, he's just like Mickey. In the old days, you know, Quentin and I actually wanted him in Dust Till Dawn. We both wanted Mickey Rourke in the lead role. But he'd retired from acting. He was just boxing. He didn't even want to even look at the scripts. We're like, oh, man, we can hire Mickey Rourke, and there's no Mickey Rourke now. We're just so bummed.
