... Revenge, ... All of a sudden, revenge started brewing in the back of their minds.
I always thought it was a B.S. thing that they didn't show it [scalping] in other Westerns, but especially if you're going to really go with the idea that we're desecrating the bodies, and the idea is to strike fear in the hearts of other German soldiers, then we had to see what they're talking about.
If I wasn't a film-maker, I'd be a film critic. It's the only thing I'd be qualified to do.
I've always wanted to work with Warren Beatty.
I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.
If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

Even Christoph Waltz's character, Colonel Landa in 'Inglourious Basterds', I never judged him.
