Responding to the question, Tarantino said, "That's kind of a 'capture time in a moment' kind of thing,"

Tarantino had clarified it in the very beginning that he would call it quits after his 10th movie. Reinstating the same, he added,

Tarantino

¡°I know film history, and from here on in, directors do not get better. I still have another one to go. I don¡¯t have a reason that I would want to say out loud that¡¯s going to win any argument in a court of public opinion or Supreme Court or anything like that. At the same time, working for 30 years doing as many movies as I¡¯ve done, not as many as other people, that¡¯s a long career. That¡¯s a really long career. And I¡¯ve given it everything I have. Every single solitary thing I have.¡±

While Tarantino hasn¡¯t announced what his final film will be, he did admit that he had once considered a reboot of his 1992 feature directing debut Reservoir Dogs as his swan song.

He chuckled and said, "I won't do it, internet. But I considered it."

Listen to his interesting conversation here:

Tarantino, who definitely sounded committed to his plan of retiring, added, "I know film history, and from here on in, filmmakers do not get better. Don Siegel - if he had quit his career in 1979, when he did Escape from Alcatraz, what a final film! What a mic drop. But he dribbles away with two more other ones, he doesn't mean it."

Quentin Tarantino¡¯s Friday night visit to ¡°Real Time with Bill Maher¡± was majorly to promote the forthcoming release of the novel version of his film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
