Quentin Tarantino: Self - Winner & Presenter

Quotes 

• Quentin Tarantino - Presenter: Governors Awards and Winner: Best Original Screenplay : That's cool, Charlize is my neighbor. Very nice to get this from you. Thank you, Mr. Hoffman. Boy, oh boy. You know, I've been saying things like I want to thank the actors for what they've done when it comes to my script. But... it's not just an easy thing to say. It really is why I'm standing here. I actually think if people are like... knowing about my movies thirty or fifty years from now it's gonna be because of the characters that I created. And I really only got one chance to get it right. I have to cast the right people to make those characters come alive and hopefully live for a long time. And, boy, this time did I do it. Thank you so much, guys!
