Quentin TarantinoI mean, there's an aspect I've always said that is - it's, you know, it's not poetry but it's kind of like it. It's not song lyrics but it's kind of like song lyrics. It's not rap but it's kind of like rap. And it's not stand-up comedy but it is kind of like stand-up comedy. It's all those things together.
Quentin TarantinoWhen 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 wonโt allow their characters to go down those roads... Iโve never put any roadblocks on any of these paths. My characters can go wherever they would naturally go, and Iโll follow them.
