When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'

Trying to make a feature film yourself with no money is the best film school you can do.

[While the film does have its share of gags, it's the closest Knoxville has ever come to a full-on dramatic leading role.] I don't think it's a stretch, ... I always knew Johnny was a good actor. But also, when you're looking for the ultimate, charming, redneck-scoundrel rascal, I think Johnny's the go-to guy.

His movie is called 'Planet Terror,' and mine is called 'Death Proof,' ... Mine is sort of a slasher film, but instead of a knife, it's a car. ... His, he's dealing with zombies and all that stuff. I think his might end up being more violent, but I'm not finished with my [script] yet, so you never know.

When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.
