"My theory is that when it comes to important subjects, there's only two ways a person can answer. For example, there's two kinds of people in this world, Elvis people and Beatles people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis. And Elvis people can like the Beatles. But nobody, nobody, nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice tells me who you are." Uma Thurman as Mia to John Travolta's Vincent in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
