Quentin Tarantino Quotes

Making a movie is universal. Directing a movie is universal; it's a universal language.

Movie-making is a very creative medium of expression.

I make movies on the subjects that excite me.

I'm attracted to directors in general because I appreciate the work and the job they have to do. I watched the post-production, I watched the pre-production... post-production is something that I'm very interested in and I did spend a lot of time in editing rooms when I was young pretending to be sick.

As far as writing or directing a film, I've worked with enough people who have done that that I know it's just a whole other level of responsibility and chaos and murder that I could not see happening. For now, I'm just going to see what comes. I know what I like and what direction I have.

I haven't really tried to write a movie. It's tough to get into that mode.

I've been doing a bit of screenwriting and producing, and even a bit of directing.

I think directing is something I would really enjoy.

I had been trying to make movies, but they were really hard to get made. TV wound up, by surprise, a much more fulfilling place to work. That said, I've always been drawn to make movies.

As a director, you have to go in with a really, really, really clear picture of what you want.

I used to make short films even as a kid. I used to have a camera and play around with it. So, I was always interested in the process and telling stories. I've always wanted to direct.

I must admit, strong films are more interesting to me, as, by the end of the day's shooting, you feel good.

I want to make movies that I would want to watch as a fan.

Whether I'm acting or making it, at the end of the day it's telling the story; action, drama. You want the audience to feel it - the story, the action, the scene, or a particular shot. I just keep working on crafting my art, on how to make action movies.

You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.

I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.
