Quentin Tarantino called me once. Someone had written `Is Michael Bay the Devil?` Quentin said, `Don`t worry, last year they called me the Antichrist.`

[on Quentin Tarantino doing his Top Gun (1986) speech in the film Sleep with Me (1994)] Important lesson learned. Intellectual properties can be taken from you if you put them in the air. Result is to never speak to anyone else ever again and withdraw fro...

[2005] A few years ago I would have said I could imagine playing James Bond in a more ferocious way. Like a sort of Quentin Tarantino character - but now, at 52, I am definitely too old.
Pierce Brosnan
Acting is always what I wanted to do. Being able to act is like winning the lottery the first time. If Quentin Tarantino walked into a pub and said "Do you want to be an actor?" everyone would say yes. It`s not like wanting to be an architect or a doctor.
Camilla Rutherford
In show business, to pry open doors in new areas is really tough. Until you have a successful comedy, people don`t think you could be funny, which is what makes a director like Quentin Tarantino so special. He sees beyond the things on the resume that you...
Uma Thurman
I`m still looking for that Quentin Tarantino, for what he did to John Travolta. That`s part of why I wanted to produce - to give myself good parts.

[talking about Quentin Tarantino and his relashionship with the cast]:"This guy is very smart, and he`s great to his actors. He wants them to be great. He keeps the stuff fresh. When he gave me the script he knew I hadn`t had a big part like this in twent...

It was the funniest thing I`d ever heard. I`d been in Soledad, San Quentin, Folsom, Vacaville, Susanville, Sierra - and here`s a guy asking `Can you act like a convict?` I remember I said `I`ll give it a shot`.

[On how his look was created in Pulp Fiction (1994)] "Quentin Tarantino wanted Jules to have a big afro. He sent this PA out to buy a wig. She went to South Central and bought this jeri-curl wig. And Quentin was going off, saying, `It`s got to be an afro ...

You`ve got to be so hip to be into these things, and Quentin is that hip. Nobody I`ve ever worked with has been that hip to so much of that stuff.
David Carradine
Well I would never say to anybody that Warren Beatty got fired, but uh, I think he and Quentin fell out of love, and I think Warren told Quentin to hire me for the film.

Then all of a sudden, Quentin Tarantino comes along and puts a song from 40 years ago in one of his films and they`ve suddenly discovered you. That was a real gift that Quentin gave me.

Quentin wanted to create this special world in which everybody walks around with a samurai sword, extras in the airport, a special little place in the airplane to stick your samurai sword.
David Carradine
Quentin is very organic; there was no way that he was going to put someone else`s hand in there and anyway, my hands are kind of famous. It seemed right.
David Carradine
Quentin and I were constantly finding something new that we had in common and comic books were one of them. I think we were talking about comic books much earlier in our relationship, before I had the part.
David Carradine
People use location as a language in films, and Quentin uses action as a language in his films. There`s really not a lot of violence. It`s more of an emotional beat than it is a physical beat.
Lucy Liu
My big fight is not in the movie and I don`t understand that decision but I know he`s right about it, whatever it is. Quentin did not hire me because I`m a kung fu expert; he hired me because he liked to listen to me talk.
David Carradine
I`ve worked with a lot of real heavy hitters, and Quentin is maybe heads and shoulders, at least a forehead, above just about anybody I`ve ever worked with.
David Carradine
I think there`s also something that Quentin wants to tell us - they are comic book characters, the people in Kill Bill, but that they are sort of superheroes, or super villains, or super something. They are beyond the problems of humanity, beyond the day-...
David Carradine
I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don`t know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York.
