When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.
So I really began as a failed poet - although when I first wanted to be a writer, I learned to write prose by reading poetry.
I wrote my first sucio story, as I call them, in 1997. This was always my 'cheater's book,' my book about sucios desgraciados. My plan was to write a book about how people deal with love and loss.
I have always been a writer of letters, and of long ones; so, when I first thought of writing a book in the form of letters, I knew that I could do it quickly and easily.
'Rick' never really fit. I tried for 18 years to make it work, and no one wanted to call me Rick. It should always have been Ricky. That's what it always should have been, so I'm going back to it.
I had always wanted to include images in a novel, and with my first book, 'Telex From Cuba,' I made an elaborate website that is basically all images.
My goal was to make first lieutenant. I never spent a lot of time worrying about what came after that.
I've always wanted to work in entertainment. My family moved to Orlando when I was 15 so I could make it.
Metro never really wanted me for anything. I was always the one who happened to be free when their first choice was not.
