More quotes by Quentin Tarantino
One can be inclined to just say, F this political correctness! I don't have time for that!
Quentin Tarantino
By the time I was doing Kill Bill, it was so much filled with prose that, you know, I start seeing why people write a screenplay and make it more like a blueprint, because basically I had written - in Kill Bill, I had basically written a novel, and basically every day I was adapting my novel to the screen on the fly, you know, on my feet.
Quentin Tarantino
What I would do is I would just remember the scene and I'd go home and I'd write out the scene from memory. And anything I didn't remember I would just fill in the blanks myself and then go and give it to a classmate and then we'd do it.
Quentin Tarantino
I hate school at that time. Now, little did I know that actually if I had stayed in school I would've actually really liked college. I wasn't aware enough to know that the junior high I was suffering through would be school at its worst.
Quentin Tarantino
If you love cinema as much as I do, and not many people do, and if you are focused and actually have something to offer, you will get somewhere with it.
Quentin Tarantino
A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.
Quentin Tarantino
My writing's like a journey. I'll know some of the stops ahead of time, and I'll make some of those stops and some of them I won't. Some will be a moot point by the time I get there. You know every script will have four to six basic scenes that you're going to do. It's all the scenes where your characters really come from.
Quentin Tarantino
I didnt go to film school, i went to films
Quentin Tarantino
To really get to know people and discover humanity, which is what I truly think writers and actors do, you've got to be interested in other human beings, you have to be interested in humanity in general, and you have to do some discovering of humanity and different people.
Quentin Tarantino
If I'm on an airplane, a Kate Hudson movie is what I'm looking for. I'll sit there and I'll cry. I think it's the altitude or something like that.
Quentin Tarantino
Suddenly, Westerns, which were our action films and what the working man went to see to blow off steam and have a good time, became boring to most people growing up from the Eighties on, because they're kind of pastoral.
Quentin Tarantino
Oh gosh, well, you know, growing up in the '70s being a young boy there, you know, there were still exploitation movies, where, you know, were, you know, still opened up every week and, you know, played - sometimes they would play it at the local, you know, mall theater.
Quentin Tarantino
I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.
Quentin Tarantino
Well, it's funny because, The Green Leaves of Summer and The Alamo theme are the same thing. There's just - the Brothers Four was a different recording of it.
Quentin Tarantino
I like it when somebody tells me a story, and I actually really feel that that's becoming like a lost art in American cinema.
Quentin Tarantino
If you're trying to drop ten pages from a screenplay, it hurts like hell, but if you just put it away for a month and then take it out, you can do it just like that!
Quentin Tarantino
To call Clive Barker a 'horror novelist' would be like calling the Beatles a 'garage band'... He is the great imaginer of our time. He knows not only our greatest fears, but also what delights us, what turns us on, and what is truly holy in the world. Haunting, bizarre, beautiful.
Quentin Tarantino
When I went to do my big audition with actors for Mr. Blonde, the thing that was very interesting was the first person to actually do the audition with the song, and they kind of actually acted out the whole scene, they weren't so great. It wasn't that they were magnificent, but the song, it was the first -it was all - been in my head.
Quentin Tarantino
The next movie will be in Mandarin. I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin.
Quentin Tarantino
I remember, like, literally saying - watching some cowboy-and-Indian movie with my mother, and I go, so, if we were back then, we'd be the Indians, right? She goes, yup, that's who we'd be. We wouldn't be those guys in the covered wagons. We'd be the Indians.
