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

I live in the Hollywood Hills. When I see a cop driving around there, I actually assume that he has my best interests at heart and that he has the best interests of my property at heart. I think if you'd go to Pasadena, they'd say the same thing. And I think if you knocked on doors in Glendale and asked them, they'd say the same thing.

I'm wondering if the crew [from'The Hateful Eight'] had some sort of nickname for me. I am blanking at anything truly funny, so I'll just say, 'No Phone Quentin'.

I mean, of course "King Kong" is a metaphor for the slave trade. I'm not saying the makers of "King Kong" meant it to be that way, but that's what, that's the movie that they made - whether they meant to make it or not.

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

If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something.

I laugh all the time. I'm an easy laugher. You can find me on any set, because I'm always laughing.
