Quentin Tarantino knew from a young age he was ahead of the pack. He went to Narbonne High School in California. Tarantino decided he was finished at fifteen and started working at an adult film theater while taking acting classes.

“I just knew more about cinema than the other people in the class,” he revealed. “I cared about cinema, and they cared about themselves… I wanted the movies to be my movies.” His thoughts were correct. Today he is one of the best in the business.
