I really become the characters when I'm writing them. I'll become one or two of them more than others, I'm consistent that way.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

Unfortunately, every time I have somebody play an instrument, it's always like, they don't know how to do it.

In real life there are no bad guys. Everybody just has their own perspective.

You always have to be keeping track, especially in this scenario [ The Hateful Eight], of where everybody is. They're pieces on a chess board.

The only other animals that would be in the ballpark to be able to do it would be a gorilla, but it's not going to occur to a gorilla to strangle the life out of somebody. They might rip their head off, all right, but it wouldn't occur to a gorilla to just, I'm going to cut off your air.

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.
