More quotes by Quentin Tarantino
Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.
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
You should be semi-embarrasse d about certain people seeing your movie.
Quentin Tarantino
Reservoir Dogs is a small film, and part of its charm was that it was a small film. I'd probably make it for $3 million now so I'd have more breathing room.
Quentin Tarantino
Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, torture would be watching sports on television.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, America is just another market.
Quentin Tarantino
To call Clive Barker a 'horror novelist' would be like calling the Beatles a 'garage band'... He is the great imaginer of our time. He knows not only our greatest fears, but also what delights us, what turns us on, and what is truly holy in the world. Haunting, bizarre, beautiful.
Quentin Tarantino
It's my job to look at other people's humanity and it's my job to, 24/7, look at my life and listen to everything everyone says, watching their faces, the little idiosyncratic aspects of human beings - it's like a sponge, I take it in.
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
The next movie will be in Mandarin. I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin.
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 don't think there's anything to be afraid of. Failure brings great rewards - in the life of an artist.
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
CGI has fully ruined car crashes. Because how can you be impressed with them now? When you watch them in the '70s, it was real cars, real metal, real blasts. They're really doing it and risking their lives.
Quentin Tarantino
I see characters lying all the time in a lot of Hollywood movies. They can't do this because it would affect the movie this way or that or this demographic might not like it. To me a character can't do anything good or bad, they can only do something that's true or not.
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 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.
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
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.
