More quotes by Quentin Tarantino

I like a much more Japanese style of blood, where it's red and it almost has a paint kind of quality to it. You can put it on metal, and it has this vividness. Because, normally, what they use in Hollywood is this stuff that looks like strawberry pancake syrup or raspberry pancake syrup.

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
Image
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.

Violence is fun, man.
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.

I steal from every movie ever made.
Quentin Tarantino

To me, Godard did to movies what Bob Dylan did to music: they both revolutionized their forms.

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.

If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

I've always said Thomas Edison invented the movie camera to show people killing and kissing.

To me, torture would be watching sports on television.

A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.
Quentin Tarantino

If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

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.

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.

I was trying to do like a spaghetti western but using World War II iconography.
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.

Instead of critics reviewing my movies, now what they're really doing is trying to match wits with me. Every time they review my movies, it's like they want to play chess with the mastermind and show off every reference they can find, even when half of it is all of their own making.

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.
