Quentin Tarantino

I mean, I'm a big movie geek. I just like movies, and I just like going to the movies. I also like watching movies at home. But I like going to the movies. It's like going to church. It's like going to a spiritual place.

I steal from every single movie ever made.

I don't believe in the idea of 'guilty pleasures.' If you f***ing like something, like it!

I'm not saying I'm a saint, but I'm not a bad guy. I'm just a guy who makes movies.

When people ask me if I went to film school, I tell them, 'No, I went to movies.'

I don't think I'm a misogynist. I just think I like certain movies.

I don't have a problem with violence, I have a problem with reality. My movies are not reality. My movies are movies.

I'm a filmmaker. I'm not a politician. I'm not a preacher. I'm not a teacher. I'm a filmmaker.

I don't make movies for critics. I make movies for audiences.

I've never been interested in making a movie that everybody likes. I'm interested in making movies that I like.

I grew up on exploitation movies. I grew up on kung fu movies. I grew up on spaghetti westerns. I grew up on blaxploitation movies. I grew up on all that stuff. And I love all that stuff.

The good thing about being a writer is you can make up anything you want.

I like to torture my characters. I like to put them in impossible situations and see how they react.

I don't do drugs. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I just make movies.

I actually think I'm a better writer than I am a director.

I'm a big fan of spaghetti westerns. I think they're some of the greatest movies ever made.

I don't make political films. I make films that have politics in them.

I don't have a personal life. I just have movies.

I'm not interested in being a nice guy. I'm interested in being a good filmmaker.

I just like to tell stories. And I like to tell them my way.
