I like it when the deeper you go with the character, the more you see the layers start to peel away.

When a butterfly flutters its wings in one part of the world, it can eventually cause a hurricane in another.

The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.

The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.

Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.

Sometimes we don't see certain things until we're ready to see them in a certain way.

When people come together too young, they try to become one person. As you get older, you realize that you don't want to become one person because then you lose the person you are.

Instead of telling the world what you're eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that's meaningful.

It's better for people to miss you than to have seen too much of you.

The more you can create that magic bubble, that suspension of disbelief, for a while, the better.

I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.

When you focus on being the best person you can be, you draw the best possible life, love, and opportunities to you.

Divorce fear. Court courage. Pursue hope. Marry love.

Before that no one thought of us as colored-foreign maybe, exotic and dark, but not colored.

Women destroy me. I allow them to.

Even if their supplies of love are finite, they've figured out that life is, too, and they're no longer rationing.

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

I went to Brooklyn College and met this beautiful Jewish girl named Merle, with dark hair, exotic looking and brilliant. So we got married and had three children.

I wanted to be a nobleman; I bought a name and a title... Oh, nothing is impossible with five million a year.

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
