More quotes by 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, Godard did to movies what Bob Dylan did to music: they both revolutionized their forms.
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.
Quentin Tarantino
Critics don't want to see directors they like make too much of a left turn. That's good for criticism.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't really consider myself an American filmmaker like, say, Ron Howard might be considered an American filmmaker. If I'm doing something and it seems to me to be reminiscent of an Italian giallo, I'm gonna to do it like an Italian giallo.
Quentin Tarantino
I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to really test it out and say: O.K., you're not that good. You just reached the level here. I don't ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate.
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
Apache have the strongest nation in the world behind them. So we're going to inflict pain where our European aunts and uncles had to endure it. And so the fact that you could actually get Nazis scared of a band of Jews, that's - again, that's a gigantic psychological thing.
Quentin Tarantino
If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it's because I put the character first.
Quentin Tarantino
Don't write what you think people want to read. Find your voice and write about what's in your heart.
Quentin Tarantino
There was that last blast of Westerns that came out in the Seventies, those Vietnam/Watergate Westerns where everything was about demystification. And I like that about those movies.
Quentin Tarantino
It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.
Quentin Tarantino
If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.
Quentin Tarantino
And when I first started writing, it was literally in acting classes. And what would happen is now it's really easy to get scripts and stuff but back then, you know, oftentimes you'd buy the novelization to a movie if you wanted to get an idea of what the scene, you know what happened in the scene.
Quentin Tarantino
If a Million People See My Movie, I Hope They See a Million Different Movies.
Quentin Tarantino
I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.
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'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
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 hope to give you at least 15 more years of movies. I`m not going to be this old guy that keeps cranking them out. My plan is to have a theater by that time in some small town and I will be the manager this crazy old movie guy.
