The New Yorker wrote in 2003 of the director’s childhood that one biography “correct the Agee-esque legend that had grown up around Tarantino since the release of ‘Reservoir Dogs’: that he was a dirt-poor illiterate hillbilly from Tennessee, brought up by a teen-age dropout.” His mother, Connie, was reportedly 16 when she gave birth to the future directing icon in Tennessee, and they subsequently moved to LA when Tarantino was 4. Tarantino said his mother is still living, but added of his decision long ago to cut her out financially, “There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children, remember there are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what’s meaningful to them.”

“I helped her out with a jam with the IRS. Koppelman asked Tarantino, “Did you stick to that?” 'Regarding my son Quentin - I support him, I'm proud. There’s no vacation for you, no Elvis Cadillac for Mommy. When I become a successful writer, you will never see penny one from my success. Tarantino recalled, “And when she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I was in my head, and I go, ‘OK, lady. ‘This little “writing career” that you’re doing? That s–t is over!'”

When Tarantino was in trouble for writing the screenplays in school, he recalled of his mom, “she was bitching at me … about that … and then in the middle of her little tirade, she said, ‘Oh, and by the way, this little “writing career,”‘ with the finger quotes and everything. Tarantino shared with Koppelman that he struggled academically in school, and that “my mom always had a hard time about my scholastic non-ability.” Quentin Tarantino’s mom allegedly did not support his moviemaking career. The “Pulp Fiction” director reportedly wrote a script called “Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit” when he was just 12. The Oscar winner told “Billions” co-creator Brian Koppelman on his acclaimed podcast, “ The Moment,” that he first began writing screenplays in grade school, but got in trouble with his teachers, who “looked at it as a defiant act of rebellion that I’m doing this instead of my school work.” Quentin Tarantino has revealed in a new interview that he vowed as a kid never to share a penny of his moviemaking fortune with his mother, because she allegedly discouraged his writing career.
