I'm not the most romantic guy, although I do try.
I'm not the most in-tune guy with what is getting nominated and winning awards in general.
All my friends are talented enough to get nominated for awards. I just am always surprised when things and people I like are also liked by things like the Oscars.
Steve Wozniak literally one of the sweetest guys. And that was kind of the thing I had to reconcile: how do I try to do this guy's sweetness justice in some capacity when most of the things I'm doing in the movie are pretty confrontational, and pretty argumentative.
If you take a tube TV to a donation center, they won't accept it.
I'm very curious in regards to "The Hateful Eight" specifically about the blocking of the movie. Because in comedies, we don't block. We basically like have to position the actors' bodies in the way that is most conducive to filming both of them simultaneously.
If I were directing a movie, it would scare me.
I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are. I laugh after every take just out of the discomfort I feel that I'm even on film. It's an awkward thing for me to be doing. Once we get going, it's always fine, and as we're shooting, I'm never thinking about it. I'd say that all my time in front of the camera is equally uncomfortable for me.
In my sick brain, gruesome violence and comedy go as hand-to-hand together as anything else in the world.
Even vegetables have feelings in our world.
I think I was just so ecstatic that I was working, and then as it went on, you know, I started to really appreciate that it was good [show "Freaks and Geeks" ] and that we were doing something a little different and that, you know, everyone was really cool to work with and that it was really talented group of people, and it was just when I was realizing that, that it got canceled.
Shutting people down creatively often doesn't get the best performance out of them.
It always seems crazy to tell people what to expect. That never works! So, I don't know what to say, other than that they can expect me.
Sometimes what you lose in the time it takes to let an actor do something that you don't like as a director, you gain in not shutting them down creatively by telling them their idea sucks.
