I shot the way I wanted to shoot [in The Hateful Eight]. The only real disadvantage I felt at the time, but I don't feel now, was that we weren't able to get a zoom lens, and I had really gotten used to using a zoom lens for that little zoom creep. But it was also a nice thing to be forced to not use all the tools that you've gotten used to, from time to time, and to be able to work in a different way.
Violence in real life is terrible; violence in movies can be cool. It's just another colour to work with.
I look at 'Death Proof' and realize I had too much time.
CGI has fully ruined car crashes. Because how can you be impressed with them now? When you watch them in the '70s, it was real cars, real metal, real blasts. They're really doing it and risking their lives.
If you're a film fan, collecting video is sort of like marijuana. Laser discs, they're definitely cocaine. Film prints are heroin, all right? You're shooting smack when you start collecting film prints. So, I kinda got into it in a big way, and I've got a pretty nice collection I'm real proud of.

Tell you what. Next time I do a movie, you can drive me to the set.
I wasn't familiar with him, and I thought the scene was too brutal for the song. So what do I know?
I don't think it's a stretch. I always knew Johnny was a good actor. But also, when you're looking for the ultimate, charming, redneck-scoundrel rascal, I think Johnny's the go-to guy.
The fact that England has embraced me as one of its own is really cool,
That part that was in the wall, that was the bomb. I wanted a lot of wall time and Wally gave me the wall time.
L.A. is so big that if you don't actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.
