Quentin Tarantino Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Quentin Tarantino:

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.
