The 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' filmmaker told that he struggled academically in school, and that, "my mom always had a hard time about my scholastic non-ability." "She was bitching at me... about that.... and then in the middle of her little tirade, she said, 'Oh, and by the way, this little 'writing career,' with the finger quotes and everything. This little 'writing career' that you're doing? That s-t is over!'" Quentin recalled.
"And when she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I was in my head, and I go, 'OK, lady. When I become a successful writer, you will never see penny one from my success. There will be no house for you. There's no vacation for you, no Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing. Because you said that," he added in the interview as per Page Six.
Quentin said that his mother is still living, but added of his decision long ago to cut her out financially, "There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children, remember there are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what's meaningful to them."
According to Page Six, Quentin's mother, Connie, was reportedly 16 years old when she gave birth to the legendary director in Tennessee, and they subsequently moved to Los Angeles when he was 4-years-old.
During the interview on 'The Moment', Quentin also recalled how he serendipitously cast Christophe Waltz in his 2009 blockbuster, 'Inglourious Basterds', and then "inventively had Waltz rehearse separately from the rest of the cast, including Brad Pitt, to keep the foreign actor's vast talents under wraps till cameras rolled," as per Page Six.
