Quentin Tarantino says he was born to shock.

The 'Kill Bill' director - who is renowned for his ultra-violent movies - says he doesn't need permission to make bloody films and doesn't care if movie bosses like them.

Quentin said: "Violence is one of the most cinematic things you can do with film. God put me on earth to do one thing and he is not going to take me out before I do it. He didn't put me on earth to die in an earthquake.

"I can do anything I want. I don't ask permission. If you're an artist, your movie is more important to you than your career."

Tarantino recently admitted he would be prepared to die for his art.

The controversial filmmaker admits he was so involved in making his most acclaimed movies 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Reservoir Dogs' he would have risked his life to finish them.

He said: "I would have died for 'Reservoir Dogs' and I would have died getting a shot for 'Pulp Fiction'.

"I don't know if I would have died for 'Jackie Brown' and that scared me a little. I think the reason was that it was based on a novel, it wasn't an original thing born from me."
