Quentin [Taranino] will say, "We've got it, but we're gonna do it one more time. Why?" And then, the entire cast and crew chimes in and says, "Because we love making movies!" He is a person who celebrates this form of expression, and it is evident in his movies, his conversations, his extensive knowledge about the history of what we do, and the actors and crew that he assembles.
Art is not created in a vacuum. That experience is something to be shared with a group of people, and to be moved in that way.

I never fancied myself having a prejudice towards people with tattoos. I personally don't have any and I don't think that I do, but I do see that people treat me differently with tattoos. People get out of my way.
I think I've made a career out of making despicable people likable.
If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.
There is something beautiful and permanent in the world, and that is the love that a person can have for another human being.
For violent people to make themselves vulnerable, and then to have that vulnerability be used against them, bad things can happen.
Unfortunately, when you're the king of the hill, there's really only one way to go, and that's down.
I still live my life the way that I want to live it, and people are very respectful of my space, but they also want to chat, and I quite like chatting.
