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.

A thing when I was writing the movie 'The hateful eight' was, I hate The Confederate cause. I've always felt that they are our Nazis and the rebel flag was our swastika. So I totally have no love for that whole romance for that Antebellum time period.

Quentin Tarantino
Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, truth is the big thing. Constantly you're writing something and you get to a place where your characters could go this way or that and I just can't lie. The characters have gotta be true to themselves.
Quentin Tarantino
I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.
Quentin Tarantino
I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.
Quentin Tarantino
I look at 'Death Proof' and realize I had too much time.
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
I won't even think about acting in a role where I didn't do a back story for a character.
