Robert Rodriguez Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Robert Rodriguez:

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.'

I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.

I was a cartoonist when I was at university, but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies, design work, story boards, and such.

Robert Rodriguez

People talk about immigration, but they won't talk about the corruption that actually exists between Mexico and the U.S.

Robert Rodriguez

Creative people are notoriously the slowest to adopt new technology.

Robert Rodriguez

Low budgets force you to be more creative. Sometimes, with too much money, time and equipment, you can over-think. My way, you can use your gut instinct.

Robert Rodriguez

Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic.

Robert Rodriguez

I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.

Robert Rodriguez

I have 5 children of my own. They are bilingual, like most second and third generations. But they speak primarily in English and they couldn't find anything on television that represented who they are in this country.

Robert Rodriguez

If you do a film with a studio, agents step in, they start saying, 'My actor has to get this amount of money', and it becomes about deals.

Robert Rodriguez

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is, but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.

Robert Rodriguez

Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.

Robert Rodriguez

If you create a good story that has a lot of story value... I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.

The studios don't finance anymore, they get outside funds.

Robert Rodriguez

I always wanted to be a stay-at-home dad making art, making movies.

Robert Rodriguez

I kind of like working fast.

Robert Rodriguez

Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.

Robert Rodriguez

Don't be told something is impossible. There's always a way.

Robert Rodriguez

I love working with great actors.

Robert Rodriguez

The challenge is what was making it exciting. You don't want to do anything that's too easy or that you know that you can pull off, otherwise it's really not worth doing.

Robert Rodriguez

The only thing I ever wanted to do is never have to work a day in my life.

Robert Rodriguez

Frank is such a great visual storyteller, that if you study his artwork you see that his Sin City books are already the best movies never seen on the big screen.

Robert Rodriguez

For me, Mexploitation seemed like something that should have existed, but didn't.

Robert Rodriguez

When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.

Robert Rodriguez

A lot of people who watch DVDs are people who are interested in, if not moviemaking, then creativity in general.

Robert Rodriguez

I usually have a couple of projects going on that are different. A 'Sin City' while I'm doing a 'Spy Kids' at the same time. I need different things going on.

Robert Rodriguez

Really, children will support anything that is empowering to them.

Robert Rodriguez

A movie goes from several stages, from idea to script. As you continue shooting, you will make some adjustments. You're constantly adjusting. It's like a piece of music. You're constantly trying to make it better.

Robert Rodriguez

Usually, I'm just pleasing myself and I have very similar tastes I think to an audience, what that core audience really likes.

Robert Rodriguez

I was the one in charge of the kids growing up.

Robert Rodriguez

What could make my life better? Oh, if I could only find that magic bottle that lets you never have to sleep. I have so much stuff I wanna do, but... That six or seven hours you have to be in bed with your eyes closed. What a waste!

Robert Rodriguez

When you put on the glasses in a 3-D movie they just kind of sit there and you forget about them.

Robert Rodriguez

People don't live in Austin to work, they work to live there.

Robert Rodriguez

I want to push technology boundaries to be more efficient.

Robert Rodriguez

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.'

Robert Rodriguez

I don't think anyone can be more of a predator than a human being.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.
