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."

Diane Kruger loved being tortured by Brad Pitt. The German actress - who stars alongside the Hollywood hunk in Quentin Tarantino's bloody war film "Inglourious Basterds" - was frustrated she didn't get an opportunity to get frisky with her co-star, but admits being beaten by Brad was a satisfying experience.

She explained: "No, there was none of that. But I did get tortured by him which I guess is the next best thing when it comes to someone like Brad Pitt. Everyone has their tastes and preferences but I'm sure lots of girls wouldn't say no to that!"

Quentin Tarantino says Brad Pitt is not a "pretty boy" anymore. The "Inglourious Basterds" director says the film's star has become a "man" with it reached the zenith of his career.

Quentin said: "What's really cool about Brad right now is that the pretty boy is gone. He's a man now. He can bear the weight. Brad is at the zenith of his iconicness."
