I've always seen in Westerns it described or it's shown very vaguely, but I wanted this - I want us to show what they're doing to them, so you can actually see it. And if you notice in the movie, you know, it goes even beyond just scalping and stuff.

If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

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 actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.

I wasn't trying to top Pulp Fiction with Jackie Brown. I wanted to go underneath it and make a more modest character study movie.

Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.

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