Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.

I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.

People keep trying to make me a movie star but they just don't understand. I'm not a movie star, I'm an actor.

I will no longer be an actor to hire, I have a passion for producing and making films.

I only want to make movies I want to see. That may mean my career is somewhat limited, but that is my version of integrity. No matter how it performs or how it's received, I can be okay with it.

To me, White Boy Shuffle is sort of like Catcher in the Rye, the story is so universal.

To be more involved and more aware is appealing to me.
