Christoph Waltz called Tarantino movies “operas without singing…”
QUESTION :What’s the most memorable experience Tarantino has shared with you recently?
Apart from movies I otherwise wouldn’t have seen, one of the most interesting things he showed me was a compilation of trailers he put together of teenage-rebel movies of the 1950s. It was like a cultural history of teenage rebellion and rock-and-roll culture. It was fascinating. It was probably better than watching the entire movies because you get the big highlights without having to experience the scenes in between—in which nothing happens anyway.
On Roman Polanski
I spent three fabulous months with Roman. I like his directness and sharp, sarcastic sense of humor. His precision in moviemaking is beyond words. He’s a grand master, even though he is one of the short guys. My view of him is tolerant and understanding of the man he is today.
On therapy
A perfect argument for therapy is Einstein’s quote “You can’t solve a problem by the same thinking that produced it.”
On studying under Stella Adler
with Stella Adler, which was the one crucial, eye-opening, pivotal experience in all my training. With Stella a world opened up for me.
