More quotes by 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 definitely have some colleagues that I respect, and we get together from time to time. But I actually have just like genuine friends. Paul Thomas Anderson is a genuine friend. Robert Rodriguez is a genuine friend. Rick Richard Linklater is a genuine friend. Eli Roth is a genuine friend. And so is Edgar Wright.
Quentin Tarantino
I like my song-sequences in my movies, but one of the things I like about them, is I get in and I get out.
Quentin Tarantino
I live in the Hollywood Hills. When I see a cop driving around there, I actually assume that he has my best interests at heart and that he has the best interests of my property at heart. I think if you'd go to Pasadena, they'd say the same thing. And I think if you knocked on doors in Glendale and asked them, they'd say the same thing.
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
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
I steal from every movie ever made.
Quentin Tarantino
Sergio Leone was a big influence on me because of the spaghetti westerns.
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
To me, America is just another market.
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
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
Violence in real life is terrible violence in movies can be cool. It's just another colour to work with.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
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
If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something.
Quentin Tarantino
You get to be analytical about the process and now I can watch the movie and see all the different connection things and see all the things that are underneath the surface.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't think Pulp Fiction is hard to watch at all.
Quentin Tarantino
If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. Failure brings great rewards - in the life of an artist.
