I want to top expectations. I want to blow you away. |
Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing. |
My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid. |
My plan is to have a theatre in some small town or something and I'll be manager. Ill be the crazy old movie guy. |
To be a novelist, all I need is a pen and a piece of paper. |
I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence, without any apologies. |
I don't think Pulp Fiction is hard to watch at all. |
As a viewer, the minute I start getting confused, I check out of the movie. Emotionally, I'm severed. |
I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced. |
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. |
I've always wanted to work with Warren Beatty. |
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 my soundtracks do pretty good, because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home. |
Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And that's what I'm trying to do. |
I wasn't trying to top Pulp Fiction with Jackie Brown. I wanted to go underneath it and make a more modest character study movie. |
I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer. |
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. |
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. |
I loved history because to me, history was like watching a movie. |
I want to have the fun of doing anime and I love anime, but I can't do storyboards because I can't really draw and that's what they live and die on. |
