"Quentin Tarantino this week said he didn't like me as an actor,"
"It hurts your feelings. It fucking sucks. He wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise. He wouldn't say that to somebody who's a top-line actor. I'm very popular in this room, I'm not very popular in Hollywood... It's humbling, and it hurts."
"They just ripped off the fucking book! Stupid book critics are not going to go watch a Japanese movie called Battle Royale, so the stupid book critics never called her out on it."
Quentin Tarantino criticized actors Paul Dano, Matthew Lillard, and Owen Wilson and said The Hunger Games ripped off the Japanese novel Battle Royale. Matthew Lillard responded at a GalaxyCon Q&A, saying the remark hurt and noting a contrast between his popularity with fans and his standing in Hollywood. Tarantino argued that Suzanne Collins should have faced legal action and blamed critics for overlooking similarities because they would not watch the Japanese film. Josh Hutcherson acknowledged thematic parallels but emphasized that creators borrow from one another, and fans booed Tarantino's name at the convention.
