Film director and screenwriter, Quentin Tarantino (ENFP), speaking about friend and fellow film director and screenwriter, Paul Thomas Anderson (INFP-T3):
“The relationship I enjoy with Paul is probably my most cherished relationship that I have with another filmmaker. We are very friendly combatants. The way we look at it is we have a Marlon Brando-Montgomery Clift-like relationship. I feel I’m Marlon Brando. Paul is Montgomery Clift. And the reality is, Brando was better because Montgomery Clift existed. And Montgomery Clift was better because Brando existed. And nothing makes me happier than for Paul to come out with a masterpiece like “There Will Be Blood.” I couldn’t be more pleased for him, proud of him. And nothing inspires me more to do better. So I can actually say, while there is no thematic link to my new movie, “Inglorious Basterds,” with “There Will Be Blood,” if I reach high points with “Inglorious Basterds,” it is partly because Paul came out with “There Will Be Blood” a couple of years ago and I realized I had to bring up my game.” — Quentin Tarantino (ENFP)1
