Tarantino believes he was Shakespeare in former life

Tarantino believes he was born to write because it is in his soul. He is not ruling out the possibility that he could be Shakespeare reincarnated, reports contactmusic.com.

He says: “I’ve always had a thought maybe that I might have been Shakespeare in another life. I don’t really believe that 100 percent and I don’t really care about Shakespeare, I’ve never been into Shakespeare, but then people are constantly bringing up all of these qualities in my work that mirror Shakespearean tragedies and moments and themes.

“I remember in the case of ‘Reservoir Dogs’, writing this scene where the undercover cop is teaching Tim Roth how to be an undercover cop, and when the actors came in to rehearse it, Harvey Keitel read it, and he thought I had just taken Hamlet’s speech to the players and broke it down into modern words. I’d never read Hamlet’s speech to the players.”
