When I was filming the death scene [in Inglourious Basterds], and I'm killing somebody, I had to work myself up.

I need to eliminate 'like' from my vocabulary. I begin sentences with, 'That's seriously like ' I hear myself talking in this Los Angeles high-school student kind of way, and I hate it.

Everybody has to know where they're coming from, what they're doing, why they're doing it, who they are. These are essentials.

What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

I want a movie that 30 years from now, people can look back and see it as a reflection of where the culture was at - as a barometer of the culture.

You have to trust your instincts and hope the fans like what you do, but you don't gut check with the fans. If we're going to make a series, people are going to have a lot of opinions and if there's one overwhelming majority or one thing you continuously hear repeated from the fans, you certainly take that into account going into next season.
