I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home. - Quentin Tarantino

I am a genre lover – everything from spaghetti western to samurai movie.

I've got so many movies I would like to make. I've got my western, my World War II bunch of guys on a mission, my spaghetti western, my horror film. But since I know I won't live long enough to do all the movies I want to do, with every movie the goal is to wipe out as many as I can.

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.
