- Didn't want the actors to see the dailies
- at the Sundance screening, it was a disaster because Q had made the film in wide screen, but the projectionist didn't have some materials, so it came out blurry and bled onto the curtains, Q was freaking out, walking down the aisles and saying "stop! i cant take this"
- no overnight success for Q, even after Reservoir Dogs was successful
- made movie for himself, and everyone is invited (said Q)
- Leaves it to audience to interpret movie meanings and title meanings
- got to travel, something he never had enough money to do as a child
- His theory on Madonna's "Like a Virgin" (in the movie) was something he truly believed to be true, and he finally got to meet Madonna
- She sent him a copy of her album, and said "to Quentin-- its about love, not [what you thought it was"
Quentin Controversies:
The Roger Thing
- Worked together at Video Archives, first as rivals then as friends
- were as thick as thieves
- Roger gave Q something he'd written called The Open Road, which turned into True Romance and NBK
- A full third of Pulp Fiction consists of a screenplay written by Roger, but Q's version was better
- Though it isn't a crime, Q is less than gracious about sharing credit
- Complains about Oliver Stone taking his stuff, but takes Rogers stuff and gives him no credit really
- Was an only child, can be selfish/self-absorbed
- Q's riffs echo the Video Archives atmosphere
