More quotes by 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 loved history because to me, history was like watching a movie.
Quentin Tarantino
You always have to be keeping track, especially in this scenario [ The Hateful Eight], of where everybody is. They're pieces on a chess board.
Quentin Tarantino
I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.
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
If you were a U.S. Cavalry guy and you thought you were going to be captured by the Apaches, you might kill yourself. If they were with their wives and they thought they were going to be captured, they would shoot their wives for fear of the Apaches getting them.
Quentin Tarantino
I just don't feel the whole white guilt and pussy-footing around race issues. I'm completely above all that. I've never worried about what anyone might think of me 'cause I've always believed that the true of heart recognize the true of heart.
Quentin Tarantino
Don't write what you think people want to read. Find your voice and write about what's in your heart.
Quentin Tarantino
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.
Quentin Tarantino
You should be semi-embarrasse d about certain people seeing your movie.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, Godard did to movies what Bob Dylan did to music: they both revolutionized their forms.
Quentin Tarantino
Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.
Quentin Tarantino
If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, torture would be watching sports on television.
Quentin Tarantino
I don't think Pulp Fiction is hard to watch at all.
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
I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.
Quentin Tarantino
To me, truth is the big thing. Constantly you're writing something and you get to a place where your characters could go this way or that and I just can't lie. The characters have gotta be true to themselves.
Quentin Tarantino
Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Quentin Tarantino
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.
