He revealed that his approach to the stories he wants to tell is very different:
“[Tarantino is] an author. I mean, it’s something different. I make up stories, I’m drawn to stories by other people, in very different ways. And so I think it’s a different process… I respect writers and I wish I could… I wish I could just be in a room and write these novels. No films, no novels. All stories, long stories.”
