How was the experience of shooting Django Unchained?
We shot mostly in New Orleans which is a great place to shoot. It was just fun to be there. You can’t beat the locations there. We shot in real plantations for Don Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio’s characters. You could point the camera in any direction to get a great shot.

Your love for genre films, and especially Westerns, is evident in this movie.
I have been evoking Westerns in quite a few of my films including Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Inglorious Bastards in particular. I remember how my script supervisor Martin Kitrosser, (who has worked on every movie I have ever made), said when we did the opening sequence of Inglorious Bastards: “Quentin, this is your first Western!”
