Movie Forum: From 'Spy Kids' to 'Sin City'

Robert Rodriguez: 1: It was easy actually, but that's because I work with Bob and Harvey Weinstein. They believe in the artist and let me make the movie, no questions asked, even though they didn't understand it completely when I started it.

2: A lot of it has to do with Mickey. Quentin and I both wanted to cast him in "Dusk Till Dawn," but he was not acting any more at that time. But he realized that acting was his main love and came back to it. I was able to work with him on "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," and he really proved to me that he wanted to come back to acting, and was a hard worker. I was anxious to do something else with him, and "Sin City" was the perfect fit.

3: I'd work with Mickey again in a heartbeat. He's one of the most tortured souls I've ever met, and that really comes through in his work.

State Road, NC: When are Tito and Tarantula going to record an album? What great music.

Robert Rodriguez: They are amazing. They've been actually recording a lot in Europe where they have an even bigger following. They do so well out there, they hardly play in the States, which has a much stranger music business.

New York, NY: You are obviously capable of switching genres and styles from film to film. Is there yet a genre or style that you have not attempted that you really want to?
