break factory hollywood realize
Hollywood is a factory. You have to realize that you are working in a factory and you're part of the mechanism. If you break down, you'll be replaced.
art real thinking
Nobody makes art for an elite, not if they're a real artist. You try and reach as many people as possible with whatever it is that you make. If a chef is making an omelette, he wants everyone to think that it tastes great because he did it. And if it does, then that's a success because everyone eats it.
real mind levels
You can access that on many levels and the human spirit and the human mind responds to those themes because they recognise the veracity of them. That they are real things. Sometimes it even goes beyond logic, it's just a sense of something.
real hands puppets
We all present a version of ourselves whether you've got a puppet on your hand or not. To actually be very real out there in a public way, why?
running real guy
Sometimes you got to a point where it wasn't happening and you had to figure out another way to do it, particularly in terms of making the jaguar do what you wanted.

It was a cheap, nasty movie that was cranked out in three weeks on a tiny budget.

cheapen good hard special turn
I don't have to be working every moment. Why turn something good into a hard job? It's more special when it's not a daily occurrence. It doesn't cheapen it so much.
built crash explode foundation great kicking movement rooted sort tool
Film is built for kinetic movement and crash and burn. It's a great tool for spectacles. But if it's not rooted to something a little higher, you're just kicking your butt around the corner. You can only take so much of that. You have to have some sort of foundation to explode from.
Boy, there's nothing more thrilling than a chase. I'd often thought, over the years, that someone should do a whole film where it's nothing but a chase.
This film will not be as bloody; it will be a little more tasteful.
guy integrity
This guy has a sense of integrity, but it's very misguided.
european indigenous mexico mostly people using
It's set before the Conquest, so there are no European faces, and we are using mostly indigenous people and actors from Mexico City,
