Quentin Tarantino

“I steal from every movie ever made.”

“Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.”

“The good ideas will survive.”

“When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'”

“If you want to make a movie, make it. Don't wait for a grant, don't wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it.”

“I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”

“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.”

“I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to leave it all on the field.”

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

“I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My characters are not role models. They're realistic.”

“Storytelling is my currency. It's my only real value.”

“A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, 'Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets.'”
