From Dusk Till Dawn and Past Midnight

  • worked with Robert Kurtzman on this horror film
  • In one scene, a Vietnamese boy's father (who adopted him) turns on him, the same way Curt turned on Q when he was younger (by leaving)
  • Sundance Festival: Kurtzman couldn't get anyone to use his movie b/c he was a new director, gave to Robert Rodriguez

Past Midnight

  • Got a salesman job at the Imperial (foreign films)
  • Q was perfect for job, had already worked in a mom-and-pop video store, could act, liked the material being sold and could do impersonations
  • the Coffee Thing- Q says he associates coffee with work; going to make a cup of coffee is a good way to get out of doing any
  • the Father Figure Thing - there is a character who is pining for an absent dad
  • a foot massage was changed to a back rub b/c though Q favoured the foot massage, the director disagreed
  • Q was naive and kid like
  • Just as Q was on the brink of fame, his longtime girlfriend, Grace Lovelace dumped him
