I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I was usually the 'dumb kid' in all my classes. But I'm very versatile. Show less «

If you truly love what you do - then it's not a job anymore.

It's impossible to learn about everything... But you can still try.

I'd rather drive the "little engine that could" than skipper the Titanic. (commenting on the Indie Film Ranch/MTD Studios) Show less «

Success is inevitable if you pursue it long enough...

You know when we were first getting started with filming in Central Florida back in 2001 -- I was inspired by Robert Rodriguez and what he did with El Mariachi. To make such a great film with just $7,000. He's an amazing director and a true visionary. When I made Alone and Restless with a similar amount of money -- I was striving to create another memorable feature film like Mariachi. Although, Alone and Restless is a completely different film in another genre -- I'm very proud of the results. I also have to give Rodriguez credit for proving that a good feature film could produced on such a limited budget. It was like a proof of concept -- you know, a business model for all those rising independent filmmakers could use to get started with their career. Show less «

Break all the rules! Whoever wrote the rules (of filmmaking) never gave the audience enough credit.

The last day that I dream is the first day that I'm dead.

I'll know what I'm looking for when I find it.
