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.

More quotes by Quentin Tarantino
If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.
Quentin Tarantino
If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, torture would be watching sports on television.
Quentin Tarantino
Violence is fun, man.
Quentin Tarantino
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.
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
Oh gosh, well, you know, growing up in the '70s being a young boy there, you know, there were still exploitation movies, where, you know, were, you know, still opened up every week and, you know, played - sometimes they would play it at the local, you know, mall theater.
Quentin Tarantino
I like it when somebody tells me a story, and I actually really feel that that's becoming like a lost art in American cinema.
Quentin Tarantino
I mean, of course King Kong is a metaphor for the slave trade. I'm not saying the makers of King Kong meant it to be that way, but that's what, that's the movie that they made - whether they meant to make it or not.
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
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
Quentin Tarantino
I couldn't spell anything. I couldn't remember anything, but I could go to a movie and I knew who starred in it, who directed it, everything.
Quentin Tarantino
I was trying to do like a spaghetti western but using World War II iconography.
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
I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.
Quentin Tarantino
I always thought it was a B.S. thing that they didn't show it [scalping] in other Westerns, but especially if you're going to really go with the idea that we're desecrating the bodies, and the idea is to strike fear in the hearts of other German soldiers, then we had to see what they're talking about.
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'm not a huge big fan of music video.
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
