Robert Rodriguez quotes about
technology people creative
Creative people are notoriously the slowest to adopt new technology.
finance fund studios
The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.
kind
I kind of like working fast.
strong-women strong models
I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.
growing-up kids wish
I wish I could freeze time or go back in time and watch my kids grow up all over again because it is just going by too fast.
writing ideas people
Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.
technology use levels
I like to keep my budgets at a certain price when I work for someone else, and even more so now that I'm working for myself, and use new technologies to deliver films that look like they have high production levels.
struggle together firsts
You ask any moviemaker what their favorite movie experience was, and they'll say it was one of the first ones, where everyone had to pitch in and do everything together, and you had to struggle.
dream work-out world
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream world, because it doesn't always seem too logical how things work out.
hard-work years differences
All those years I had been making movies because I loved movies, and that's what made all the difference. If you're doing it because you love it you can succeed because you'll work harder than anyone else around you, take on challenges no one else would dare take, and come up with methods no one else would discover, especially when their prime drive is fame and fortune. All that will follow later if you really love what you do. Because your work will speak itself.
silly people hobbies
Very few people have a lot of time to dedicate to one hobby. I was fortunate to have started so young, because when you're young you have nothing but time. Hours and hours to burn up on something as silly as a movie.
technology want boundaries
I want to push technology boundaries to be more efficient.
growing-up kids home
I was from such a large family that when I first met my wife, I told her: 'You can go work outside of the house and I'll stay home and continue making my cartoon strips. Maybe I'll make some commercials nearby, you know I'll do anything locally, but I would love to just stay at home and raise the kids like I did when I was growing up.'
should-have should like-something
For me, Mexploitation seemed like something that should have existed, but didn't.
