Quentin Tarantino dances to the beat of his own tune, and he wasn't afraid to let Channer 4 News' reporter, Krishnan Guru-Murthy know this when the latter tried to engage him in a conversation about violence in movies.
The acclaimed director was being interviewed in London for the British Premiere of his Oscar nominated picture 'Django Unchained,' a film that depicts american slavery at its best accompanied by a heavy dose of Tarantino violence, when Guru-Murthy asked him about his opinion on the relationship between film violence and real violence, and Tarantino went ballistic.
"Don't ask me questions like that I'm not biting - I refuse you questions," the director responded.
"Why?," prodded the reporter.
"Because I refuse your question, I'm not you're slave and you're not my master you can't make me dance to your tune. I'm not a monkey."
And when Guru-Murthy keept pushing, Tarantino broke down and "shut [his] butt down."
But Guru-Murthy persisted: "Well, it's my job to ask you why you think that because…"
"And I'm saying no! And I'm shutting you down," a fed up Tarantino interrupted him.
In the end, the reporter switched gears, Tarantino lowered his tone and they finished the interview amicably. Later on, Guru-Murthy told the Daily Telegraph this was the first time something like this happened to him during an interview.
