More quotes by 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.

I don't believe in putting in music as a band aid to get you over some rough parts or bad film making. If it's there it's got to add to it or take it to another level.
Quentin Tarantino
I won't even think about acting in a role where I didn't do a back story for a character.

Quentin Tarantino
Sergio Leone was a big influence on me because of the spaghetti westerns.
Quentin Tarantino
I always thought it was a B.S. thing that they didn't show it [scalping] in other Westerns, but especially if you're going to really go with the idea that we're desecrating the bodies, and the idea is to strike fear in the hearts of other German soldiers, then we had to see what they're talking about.
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
To me, America is just another market.
Quentin Tarantino
I've always said Thomas Edison invented the movie camera to show people killing and kissing.

If I'm doing my job right, then I'm not writing the dialogue the characters are saying the dialogue, and I'm just jotting it down.
Quentin Tarantino
A lot of them [Germaqn actors] could come in and we could speak for the next nine hours in English and there would be no problem. It was - but it was - English wasn't the language for them to read poetry in. And there is a - there's a poetic quality to my dialogue.
Quentin Tarantino
When I was on The View, Barbara Walters was asking me about the blood and stuff, and I said, 'Well, you know, that's a staple of Japanese cinema.' And then she came back, 'But this is America.' And I go, 'I don't make movies for America. I make movies for planet Earth.'
