... Revenge, ... All of a sudden, revenge started brewing in the back of their minds.

Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.

I don't want to deal with the underneath while I'm, you know, while I'm making it or while I'm writing it or when I'm making it. Because again, I don't want to hit these nails on the head too strongly.

When you start writing, you have your characters on a metaphorical paved road, and as they go down it, all these other roads become available that they can go down. And a lot of writers have roadblocks in front of those roads: they won’t allow their characters to go down those roads... I’ve never put any roadblocks on any of these paths. My characters can go wherever they would naturally go, and I’ll follow them.

ou know, if you want to see jackbooting Nazis in movies, you've got to watch American movies made at that time.

When I'm writing something, I try not to get analytical about it as I'm doing it, as I'm writing it.

I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.
