More quotes by Quentin Tarantino
I'm a human being with a conscience, and when I see murder, I cannot stand by, and I have to call the murdered the murdered, and I have to call the murderers the murderers.
Quentin Tarantino
You should be semi-embarrasse d about certain people seeing your movie.
Quentin Tarantino
I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't have any bone to pick with critics. In fact, if I wasn't a filmmaker I would probably be a film critic. Most of my bone is I would be a better film critic than most of the film critics I read.
Quentin Tarantino
If a Million People See My Movie, I Hope They See a Million Different Movies.
Quentin Tarantino
There is no other genre that deals with America better, in a subtextual way, than the Westerns being made in the different decades. The '50s Westerns very much put forth an Eisenhower idea of America, whereas the Westerns of the '70s were very cynical about America.
Quentin Tarantino
One of the songs that stayed in my head that I really considered a lot was an old folk song called 'John Brown' - not the abolitionist John Brown, but the one that Bob Dylan has covered and sung before. It's about a boy coming home from the Civil War, or maybe World War I even, and about his Mother seeing him all destroyed.
Quentin Tarantino
Emotion will always win over coolness and cleverness. It's when a scene works emotionally and it's cool and clever, then it's great. That's what you want.
Quentin Tarantino
Sure, Kill Bill is a violent movie. But it's a Tarantino movie. You don't go to see Metallica and ask the fuckers to turn the music down.
Quentin Tarantino
I see characters lying all the time in a lot of Hollywood movies. They can't do this because it would affect the movie this way or that or this demographic might not like it. To me a character can't do anything good or bad, they can only do something that's true or not.
Quentin Tarantino
Sergio Leone was a big influence on me because of the spaghetti westerns.
Quentin Tarantino
When I'm writing something, I try not to get analytical about it as I'm doing it, as I'm writing it.
Quentin Tarantino
Sometimes things need to get really bad before they can ever get better. Really bad can become untenable if enough people get sick of it. That was a big thing about why I ended up taking part in that rally [against police brutality] and ended up voicing my opinion and declaring what side I was standing on.
Quentin Tarantino
If I wasn't a film-maker, I'd be a film critic. It's the only thing I'd be qualified to do.
Quentin Tarantino
I surprised myself, that I was in the tissue of the character enough, that I could actually come up with something that I didn't actually feel or didn't believe.
Quentin Tarantino
If you were a U.S. Cavalry guy and you thought you were going to be captured by the Apaches, you might kill yourself. If they were with their wives and they thought they were going to be captured, they would shoot their wives for fear of the Apaches getting them.
Quentin Tarantino
My plan is to have a theatre in some small town or something and I'll be manager. Ill be the crazy old movie guy.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't want to deal with the underneath while I'm, you know, while I'm making it or while I'm writing it or when I'm making it. Because again, I don't want to hit these nails on the head too strongly.
Quentin Tarantino
I didnt go to film school, i went to films
Quentin Tarantino
Reservoir Dogs is a small film, and part of its charm was that it was a small film. I'd probably make it for $3 million now so I'd have more breathing room.
Quentin Tarantino
