Watch Out, Or He’ll Beat You To A Bloody Pulp
Director Quentin Tarantino (“Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction”) certainly is not one to shy away from violence on the big screen.
But how does he feel about it when the cameras aren’t rolling?
“I don’t enjoy it in life at all,” Tarantino told an interviewer. “I never liked fighting. I don’t fight by Marquess of Queensberry rules. When I fight, I fight like I’m trying to kill you, because I am assuming you’re trying to kill me.”
As for firearms, “One of the reasons I don’t have a gun is, if I had a gun and a 12-year-old kid broke into this house, I would kill him. You have no right to come into my house. I have to assume the worst.
“There would be no holding you for cops, no shooting to wound. I would empty the gun until you were dead.”
