American Indians would, you know, scalp them and desecrate the bodies, you know, tie them to cactuses or bury them in anthills or things like that, and you know, cut up the bodies and stuff. And then the other enemy soldiers would come across and find their comrades laying there, ripped apart, and they would be sickened by it and it would scare them.

It's a standard staple in Japanese cinema to cut somebody's arm off and have red water hoses for veins, spraying blood everywhere.

By the time I was doing "Kill Bill," it was so much filled with prose that, you know, I start seeing why people write a screenplay and make it more like a blueprint, because basically I had written - in "Kill Bill," I had basically written a novel, and basically every day I was adapting my novel to the screen on the fly, you know, on my feet.

I loved history because to me, history was like watching a movie.

As a viewer, the minute I start getting confused, I check out of the movie. Emotionally, I'm severed.

Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.

Even Christoph Waltz's character, Colonel Landa in 'Inglourious Basterds', I never judged him.
