Most, actually, German actors have like some speaking of French. So, the French wasn't the problem. But, I was having a problem with them doing my dialogue in English. And it wasn't a matter of fluency.

I do like putting scenario and story first, and I actually like masking whatever I want to say in the guise of genre.

I liked the Hollywood stuff. But I also liked the fact that in both, you know, I guess in the, like, the auteur, the art film auteur at that time was Lina Wertmuller. So, you go see "Swept Away" or you go see a movie she did "Blood Feud" with Sophia Loren and Giancarlo Giannini. And I remember "Wifemistress" was a big movie at that time, really liked it, Laura Antonelli.

If I wasn't a film-maker, I'd be a film critic. It's the only thing I'd be qualified to do.

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

The film [Django] really has a lot of ups and downs, and taps into a lot of different emotions. To me, the trick was balancing all those emotions, so that I could get you where I wanted you to be by the very end. I wanted the audience cheering in triumph at the end.

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