Rodriguez directed the 1992 action film El Mariachi, which was a commercial success after grossing $2 million against a budget of $7,000. The film spawned two sequels known collectively as the Mexico Trilogy: Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. He directed From Dusk till Dawn in 1996 and developed its television adaptation series (2014–present). Rodriguez co-directed the 2005 neo-noir crime thriller anthology Sin City (adapted from the graphic novel of the same name) and the 2014 sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Rodriguez also directed the Spy Kids films, The Faculty, as well as The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, Planet Terror, and Machete.

    Famous quotes by Robert Rodriguez:

    "Don't be told something is impossible. There's always a way."
    "What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything."
    "Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic."
    "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."
    "Even though I can make my own budgets, I always ask for less money than we need so that you have to be more creative, you have to strip it down."
    "The challenge is what was making it exciting. You don't want to do anything that's too easy or that you know that you can pull off, otherwise it's really not worth doing."
    "I don't like having two versions (of a DVD). People will buy the first one and not buy the second, and that's the one I want them to see."
    "I hope to have more control over that in the future."
    "You'll click a button and get to hear the Austin audience reacting to the film for the first time. You'll hear what took them by surprise, made them gasp. It's gonna be really cool."
    "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl in 3-D"
    "Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir."
