I Have So Many Friends Who Don't

I Love Working With Great Actors.

I Collect A Lot Of Art.

If You Want To Be A Rock Star, You're Not Going To Just Walk On Stage. You Gotta Go Practice In The Garage Until Your Fingers Bleed. I Always Say That - The Same With Writing And The Same With Filmmaking - If It's Really Your Passion, You've Just Got To Stick With It And Do It.

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.'

It's Easier Making A Smaller Film Like El Mariachi. There Are No Budget Worries Because There Is No Budget. There Is No Crew Problem Because There Is No Crew. And If You Screw Up, No One Is Around To See You Screw Up -- So It's No Longer A Screw Up.
