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

I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence, without any apologies.

L.A. is so big that if you don't actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.

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!

I like a much more Japanese style of blood, where it's red and it almost has a paint kind of quality to it. You can put it on metal, and it has this vividness. Because, normally, what they use in Hollywood is this stuff that looks like strawberry pancake syrup or raspberry pancake syrup.

I am doing what I'm doing, and if you don't like it, don't go see it.

A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.
