There are a lot of bad screenplays so if you write a good screenplay people are going to respond to it.

I love Elmore Leonard. To me, True Romance is basically like an Elmore Leonard movie.

Reservoir Dogs is a small film, and part of its charm was that it was a small film. I'd probably make it for $3 million now so I'd have more breathing room.

It's nice to get invited to the parties and to be able to hobnob and celebrate a job well done with your colleagues.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my fingers upon thee!

One of the songs that stayed in my head that I really considered a lot was an old folk song called 'John Brown' - not the abolitionist John Brown, but the one that Bob Dylan has covered and sung before. It's about a boy coming home from the Civil War, or maybe World War I even, and about his Mother seeing him all destroyed.

I steal from every movie ever made.
