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
I surprised myself, that I was in the tissue of the character enough, that I could actually come up with something that I didn't actually feel or didn't believe.
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
If you love cinema as much as I do, and not many people do, and if you are focused and actually have something to offer, you will get somewhere with it.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, torture would be watching sports on television.
Quentin Tarantino
If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it's because I put the character first.
Quentin Tarantino
As the acting class was going on, I just realized I just knew more about cinema than the other people in the class. I cared about cinema and they cared about themselves. But two, was actually at a certain point I just realized that I love movies too much to simply appear in them. I wanted the movies to be my movies.
Quentin Tarantino
Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.
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
I remember, like, literally saying - watching some cowboy-and-Indian movie with my mother, and I go, so, if we were back then, we'd be the Indians, right? She goes, yup, that's who we'd be. We wouldn't be those guys in the covered wagons. We'd be the Indians.
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
I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.
Quentin Tarantino
I didn't want my script to get too out of control like that. So I actually made it a point not to do stuff like that, to pretty - to keep it more sparse than it's been in the last few years, or the last decade.
Quentin Tarantino
That's how it always is with me: the thing that sets me down to start writing is usually not what I end up doing. Because, as much as I love genre, and I try to deliver the goods, I go off from it. I go do my own thing.
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
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
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
I was trying to do like a spaghetti western but using World War II iconography.
Quentin Tarantino
I will never do Pulp [Fiction] 2 but having said that, I could very well do other movies with these characters.
Quentin Tarantino
I definitely have some colleagues that I respect, and we get together from time to time. But I actually have just like genuine friends. Paul Thomas Anderson is a genuine friend. Robert Rodriguez is a genuine friend. Rick Richard Linklater is a genuine friend. Eli Roth is a genuine friend. And so is Edgar Wright.
Quentin Tarantino
If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something.
Quentin Tarantino
