- Robert Rodriguez: The bond I had with Quentin was just fantastic because it was a peer who was doing spectacular things and it pushes you to achieve more than you would normally. you know, usually you're putting your own bar on yourself and if other people around you aren't pushing you and so I always say that if you want to get better at something change your peer group, get around people that are much better than you and you will rise up and it was amazing what he could pull off.
- Greg Nicotero: His vision has never wavered, it really hasn't. He's made the movies that he has wanted to make all his career and you know what? he doesn't churn out a movie every three months. He crafts them, protects them, he nurtures them, he takes heat for them and he defends them. I love the fact that he has never sold out. He really loves what he does and that he protects his movies and the stories that he tells they're controversial, they're raw and the they're visceral and they're violent but they're so mesmerizing and captivating that you can't take your eyes off of them.
