Growing up, I always told my mom if I ever made it big, I would buy her a new house. It's just one of those things every kid with big dreams says to their parents, right? Maybe I was just too self-absorbed?
While I haven't made it big yet, I'm still trying to gift my mom with as many things as I can because, well... she's my mom. Do you know who isn't doing that for their mom? Hollywood legend Quentin Tarantino.
He's responsible for films such as Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Bastards, The Hateful Eight, Kill Bill and Django Unchained — ever heard of them?
Despite being a man approaching 60, Quentin recently revealed he's stuck to a childhood promise of never sharing his wealth with his mother.
Recounting the story on a recent episode of The Moment podcast, the director explained his stubborn stance.
After the scolding, he said that his mum "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. This little ‘writing career’ that you’re doing? That [explective] is over.'"
"When she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I go, 'Okay lady, when I become a successful writer, you will never see one penny one from my success. There will be no house for you. There's no vacation for you, no Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing. Because you said that.'"
"There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children," Quentin continued. "Remember there are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what's meaningful to them."
