More quotes by Quentin Tarantino
Violence in real life is terrible violence in movies can be cool. It's just another colour to work with.
Quentin Tarantino
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
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
I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.
Quentin Tarantino
Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Quentin Tarantino
I like a much more Japanese style of blood, where it's red and it almost has a paint kind of quality to it. You can put it on metal, and it has this vividness. Because, normally, what they use in Hollywood is this stuff that looks like strawberry pancake syrup or raspberry pancake syrup.
Quentin Tarantino
I was just this video-store guy and now I was actually making movies and stuff.
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
I don't judge my characters, and that's my job not to judge them.
Quentin Tarantino
All my movies are achingly personal.
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
But can I tell the genuine-article Italian from the poseur Italian? No. To me they all seem like poseurs.
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
Leni Riefenstahl was the one person Goebbels had no control over in the filmmaking community of Nazi Germany, and they despised each other. But because she was Hitler's favorite, she could do what she wanted. She was the only filmmaker that did not have to cow down to Joseph Goebbels.
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.'
Quentin Tarantino
It's a standard staple in Japanese cinema to cut somebody's arm off and have red water hoses for veins, spraying blood everywhere.
Quentin Tarantino
You're an actor, you want to do a scene in class. But one of the things I've always had is I've always had a really good memory. So I would go and watch a movie and then I would see a scene in the movie and I go, hey I'd like to do that in class this Wednesday.
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.
Quentin Tarantino
One thing I don't understand is that average American movie-goers cannot watch a movie for three hours, yet they'll watch a stupid, boring, horrific football game for four hours. Now, that is boredom at its most colossal.
Quentin Tarantino
Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And that's what I'm trying to do.
