The good ideas will survive.
I think we spent 60-something million on 'Hateful Eight,' which is actually more than I wanted to spend, but we had weather problems. And I wanted to make it good.
I'm a historian in my own mind.
I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.
I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.
Dogs got personality. Personality goes a long way.
I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.
If you go out and see a lot of movies in a given year, it's really hard to come up with a top ten, because you saw a lot of stuff that you liked. A top 20 is easier. You probably get one masterpiece a year, and I don't think you should expect more than one masterpiece a year, except in a really great year.
I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home.
To be a novelist, all I need is a pen and a piece of paper.
If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.
I want to write novels, and I want to write and direct theater.
I liked the idea of creating a new pop-culture, folkloric hero character that I created with 'Django' that I think's gonna last for a long time. And I think as the generations go on and everything, you know, my hope is it can be a rite of passage for black fathers and their sons. Like, when are they old enough to watch 'Django Unchained'?
I want to have more original-screenplay Oscars than anybody who's ever lived! So much, I want to have so many that - four is enough. And do it within ten films, all right, so that when I die, they rename the original-screenplay Oscar 'the Quentin.' And everybody's down with that.
Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.
I don't think Pulp Fiction is hard to watch at all.
I will never do 'Pulp Fiction 2,' but having said that, I could very well do other movies with these characters.
Movies are not about the weekend that they're released, and in the grand scheme of things, that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.
A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.
I love Elmore Leonard. To me, True Romance is basically like an Elmore Leonard movie.
