I love working with great actors.

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

I want to push technology boundaries to be more efficient.

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

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.

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.

It's such a drag to make a movie.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.

Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.

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.

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.

Hollywood wants to own everything. I don't want to own anything. I don't want people just to make content, I want to empower and teach them to create content they own that they can exploit in any medium.

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.

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.
