On Quentin Tarantino: "I find Quentin`s work very interesting, because he does dabble so well in the nihilistic world, but yet, there`s a real streak of humanity in his work. It`s not about the nihilism, it`s about people in a sense operating as honorably...

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.`
Michael Bay
[when asked about the reason why Tarantino likes to revive the careers of actors who the show business have written off]: "He grew fond of people. He told me that he loved Pam Grier when he was a kid and I guess he saw Alligator (1980) and The Banker (198...
Robert Forster
Now what Tarantino will say to that is, `Don`t you understand? This is a black comedy. We`re holding this up to ridicule.` There`s no worse thing you can accuse a cool person of being than not getting a joke. - On Pulp Fiction (1994)
Charlton Heston
[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...
Roger Avary
[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
On media criticisms of violence in his movies: "Sure, Kill Bill`s a violent movie. But it`s a Tarantino movie. You don`t go to see Metallica and ask the fuckers to turn the music down."
Quentin Tarantino
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.
P.J. Soles
I don`t like the way Tarantino treats violence. Pulp Fiction (1994) doesn`t show realistic violence, but to show violence realistically, you need stamina. It`s not easy.
Takeshi Kitano
[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...
Robert Forster
[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 ...
Samuel Jackson
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.
Nancy Sinatra
Tarantino is the coolest damn guy; he`s just so much fun to work with. He might be the best director I`ve ever worked with. He just seems to know how to do it and he knows how to make you feel good about it. He`s having so much fun you start having fun. Y...
David Carradine
I`m a huge fan of hers, ... It`s a completely original piece by a guy named Joe Carnahan [`Narc`]. It`s not necessarily derivative of any style — I guess maybe it`s kind of like Tarantino, but it has its own unique voice. I can`t tell you too much, but ...
Jeremy Piven
But, Tarantino has seen all of my movies. He`s seen my good stuff, he`s seen my bad stuff, he`s seen the ones I directed, he`s read my autobiography. There`s an awful lot of things he knows about me, all of which I think had something to do with his casti...
