Quentin Tarantino revealed that this bad mood did not go unnoticed by the people he was working with onKill Bill. He mentioned that his co-workers were quite afraid of him when he was in this mood and were aversive about approaching him. He added that due to this, they would not ask him many questions and even when they did, they preferred to keep the conversations short to avoid his wrath.
“When you are like that, people don’t bug you with a million questions. They’re scared of you because you are being grumpy. They don’t go and talk to you unless they have to and when they do, they keep it short,” he explained. “So I was just pacing around, looking like a tiger in a cage, saying ‘I am an artist and I am doing what I want to do.’”, he revealed.
He also went on to say that he used this reaction to his advantage for the rest of filming, chalking up his sour mood as being the result of his creative process as an artist and this is what he did, all the while making everyone on set terrified of talking to him or just approaching him in general.
