I hate The Confederate cause. I've always felt that they are our Nazis and the rebel flag was our swastika.

I don't think Pulp Fiction is hard to watch at all.

I will never do Pulp [Fiction] 2 but having said that, I could very well do other movies with these characters.

Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And that's what I'm trying to do.

I don't feel any 'white guilt,' because I had nothing to do with (slavery) whatsoever. I feel shame for my country that it happened and that's why I feel we need to deal with it.

One of the things about writing a novel is you can do it any way you want. It's your voice that's important and I see absolutely no reason why a screenplay can't be the same. It makes it a hell of a lot easier when you're the writer and the director.

When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.
