Your new film, Seven Psychopaths, is violent with funny dialogue and will invite comparisons to Quentin Tarantino. Do you welcome that?
Not really. Lots of other people had cool dialogue in the movies. I go back to Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges just as much as I do to anyone from the '90s. Pulp Fiction is probably a masterpiece, but we’re coming at violence from very different places. There’s a moral conundrum to both of my films that I haven't really seen in Tarantino's for a while.
Short (but good) interview with the director of In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths. A lot of theater talk.
