Award-winning Director Quentin Tarantino made a candid revelation about not sharing a single 'penny' from his earnings with his mother.?
This was after Tarantino's mother shouted at him for writing screenplays in school instead of studying.?
His teachers contacted his mother Connie McHugh, who scolded him for the same.Recalling a phase when he was scolded for writing 'screenplays' instead of school essays, he said,?
¡°She was b****ing 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*** is f***ing over¡±. She meant you just can¡¯t do that in class when you should be doing something else."?
¡°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 a penny 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.¡±¡±?
¡°Yeah. Yeah. I helped her out with a jam with the IRS. But no house. No Cadillac, no house. 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.¡±?
