“The stage is the best experience in the world.

“Music is very, very important in my movies. In some ways the most important stage, whether it ends up being in the movie or not, is just when I come up with the idea itself before I have actually sat down and started writing. I go into my record room... I have a big vinyl collection and I have a room kind of set up like a used record store and I just dive into my music, whether it be rock music, or lyric music, or my soundtrack collection. What I'm looking for is the spirit of the movie, the beat that the movie will play with.” WayWritingKindImportantIdeasEndsPlayBigsUsedSpiritRoomsRecordsRocksStageMusic IsBeatsDown AndCome UpStoresSatCollectionsRock MusicSoundtracksVinylRecord Stores Author:Quentin Tarantino

It's an incredible blessing that I have this way of expressing myself through music and lyric, and I'm so grateful for that in moments of pain or of suffering - that I have this means of channeling it; it's really amazing.

Don't forget I was only eleven-years-old and to be on the stage at that age had tremendous impact on me.
