Quentin Tarantino wants to quit moviemaking and start a family. The 46-year-old director, who is currently single, plans to become a writer and find the right woman to have children with.

He said: "I will retire at 60. It is a good age to stop making movies. I could start writing novels and film criticism and become a man of letters. And then I could finally have a family."

The 41-year-old actress welcomed 8lbs 12oz son Holden Paul Terry Backus - her third child with husband Christopher Backus - into the world on June 22 in Los Angeles, but has revealed her pregnancy was fraught with problems.

She said: "As soon as they placed him in my arms I knew it had all been worth it. He is my miracle baby. With everything that threatened this pregnancy and both of our lives, he came out of it completely unscathed - perfectly healthy, beautiful and wonderful!
