With Kill Bill, I wanted to test myself, see how good I am. I wanted to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my own talent. The only reason for me to do it was to raise the bar. I used to say, 'Kill Bill has to be to fight scenes what the "Ride of the Valkyries" scene in Apocalypse Now is to battle scenes, or else I will have failed.' Completely. If this doesn't just fucking rock, then I'm just not as good as I think I am.

Additional quotes by Quentin Tarantino

I've always been pushing that envelope. I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to really test it out and say: O.K., you're not that good. You just reached the level here. I don't ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate.
