Quote

I don't believe in putting in music as a band aid to get you over some rough parts or bad film making. If it's there it's got to add to it or take it to another level.

More quotes by 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

Critics don't want to see directors they like make too much of a left turn. That's good for criticism.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
My writing's like a journey. I'll know some of the stops ahead of time, and I'll make some of those stops and some of them I won't. Some will be a moot point by the time I get there. You know every script will have four to six basic scenes that you're going to do. It's all the scenes where your characters really come from.

If I wasn't a film-maker, I'd be a film critic. It's the only thing I'd be qualified to do.

I wasn't trying to top Pulp Fiction with Jackie Brown. I wanted to go underneath it and make a more modest character study movie.

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.

I'm not superstitious in my normal daily life but I get that way about writing, even though I know it's all bullshit. But I began that way and so, that's the way it is. My ritual is I never use a typewriter or computer. I just write it all by hand. It's a ceremony. I go to a stationary store and buy a notebook and then fill it up.

To me, torture would be watching sports on television.
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
Image
I try not to get analytical in the writing process. I try to just kind of keep the flow from my brain to my hand as far as the pen is concerned and go with the moment and go with my guts.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
Movies are not about the weekend that they're released, and in the grand scheme of things, that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.
Quentin Tarantino

I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.
Quentin Tarantino

... Revenge, ... All of a sudden, revenge started brewing in the back of their minds.

When I'm writing something, I try not to get analytical about it as I'm doing it, as I'm writing it.

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.

I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.

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.

You don't have to know how to make a movie. If you truly love cinema with all your heart and with enough passion, you can't help but make a good movie.
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.
