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.Quentin Tarantino

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. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.Quentin Tarantino

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.Quentin Tarantino

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.Quentin Tarantino
