I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

My plan is to have a theatre in some small town or something and I'll be manager. Ill be the crazy old movie guy.

I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

All my movies are achingly personal.

I would've written this story [Django] if [Barack] Obama were president or if he never existed. For one, I think it's time to tell a story that deals with this subject America has avoided for so long. Most countries have been forced to deal with the atrocities of their past that still affect them to this day. But America has been pretty slippery in the way that it has avoided looking slavery in the eye. I believe that's a problem.

I'm a historian in my own mind.

As a viewer, the minute I start getting confused, I check out of the movie. Emotionally, I'm severed.
