I remember when I worked at my Manhattan Beach video store, Video Archives, and talked to the other employees about the types of movies I wanted to make, and the things I wanted to do inside of those movies. And I would use the example of the opening of Almodóvar’s Matador. And their response would be “Quentin, they won’t let you do that.” To which I replied back, “Who the fuck are ‘they’ to stop me? ‘They’ can go fuck themselves.”
