He looks like such a cinema nerd here lol

Kevin Costner once said, like 30 years ago, “The ability to say no gives you power.”
Same here.

What if we add feet shots?
Quentin: well... maybe we can add 1 thing

[Bobby_Uterus]

I wish more people in the music industry. Had this mentality.

[dominicdominic]

I used that same mentality at my last job, and now I'm unemployed.

One of the key things he says “then I will find someone who does”. Be immune to rejection.

It's been a week i constantly see tarantino in my YouTube feed and it's great!

[veniaminchira]

This actually reminds me of a scene in "Amadeus ", when Mozart was asked to re-write a passage in one of his opera and he replied: "This is insane! I can't re-write what's perfect."

Even though he sounds a bit arrogant, THIS is the way to make a movie with a real vision. When you start comprising with producers it becomes a “camel”, a horse made by committee. And that’s exactly what we have too much of these days, Netflix and the rest are just churning out projects that are products of marketing where they decisively choose elements that they think will sell rather than what is actually an inspired script.

This mans has the most passion and love for movies i swear

It's helps when you're a genius writer

[jamesstewart]

You can’t compromise as an artist. Quentin took this to heart.

[gabe]

I stopped asking permission now I’m in jail

[magneto]

when creating art, it should be the voice of one or two people and that’s it

having dozens and dozens of people putting their mark on things will just dilute whatever special spark there was at the beginning when the idea began

[IsaiasMGPalafox]

We’re all in the Tarantino algorithm. Let’s enjoy it while we’re here. 😂👏🏼

[__hz__]

A big lesson here. Committees will dilute the essence of the creative work but very few people that won't compromise. Tarantino is one of them.

[deanonewton]

The right attitude about your art is a true artist.

[bignickk]

It only works for him because the man has so much talent when it comes to writing stories AND directing those stories. Not a lot of people can make the kind of quality films that Tarantino does. Truly a cinema master of our time.
