I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

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.

As a viewer, the minute I start getting confused, I check out of the movie. Emotionally, I'm severed.

Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.

I will never do 'Pulp Fiction 2,' but having said that, I could very well do other movies with these characters.

None of my costume designers have ever been nominated for an Oscar 'cause I don't do period movies that have ball scenes with a hundred extras in them.

I had so much fun doing Django, and I love westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it's like, 'OK, now let me make another one now that I know what I'm doing.'

L.A. is so big that if you don't actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.

I don't really consider myself an American filmmaker like, say, Ron Howard might be considered an American filmmaker. If I'm doing something and it seems to me to be reminiscent of an Italian giallo, I'm gonna to do it like an Italian giallo.
