To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When Im writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music Im going to play for the opening sequence. – Quentin Tarantino
Im a big collector of vinyl – I have a record room in my house – and Ive always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as Im writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film. – Quentin Tarantino
Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And thats what Im trying to do. – Quentin Tarantino
Ive always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because theyre basically professional equivalents of a mix tape Id make for you at home. – Quentin Tarantino
I started writing morning pages just to keep my hand in, you know, just because I was a writer and I didnt know what else to do but write. And then one day as I was writing, a character came sort of strolling in and I realized, Oh my God, I dont have to be just a screenwriter. I can write novels. – Julia Cameron
