Tarantino has been romantically linked with numerous entertainers, including Academy Award-winning actress Mira Sorvino, directors Allison Anders and Sofia Coppola, French actress Julie Dreyfus and comedian Margaret Cho. There have also been rumors about his relationship with Uma Thurman, whom he has referred to as his "muse". However, Tarantino has gone on record as saying that their relationship is strictly platonic. He has also been allegedly linked to actress Shar Jackson. He has never married and has no children.

One of Tarantino's closest friends is fellow director Robert Rodriguez (the pair often refer to each other as brothers). Their biggest collaborations have been From Dusk Till Dawn (written by Tarantino, directed by Rodriguez), Four Rooms (they both wrote and directed segments of the film), Sin City and the upcoming Grind House.

It was Tarantino who suggested that Rodriguez name the final part of his El Mariachi trilogy Once Upon a Time in Mexico, as a homage to the title Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon A Time In America by Sergio Leone. They are both members of A Band Apart, a production company that also features directors John Woo and Luc Besson. Rodriguez scored Kill Bill: Volume 2 for one dollar, and the favor was returned in kind, with Tarantino directing a scene in Rodriguez's 2005 film Sin City for the same fee.

Rodriguez was also responsible for introducing Tarantino to digital film. Prior to this, Tarantino was a vocal supporter of using traditional celluloid film.

Tarantino is good friends with Hip Hop group Wu-Tang Clan, who call him "Q.T." They are often seen together in the VIP room of nightclubs. Wu-Tang member RZA composed the musical score for Kill Bill.

Tarantino spat at Chris Connelly on the red carpet during the 1997 Oscars. He mistakenly thought Connelly edited a story in Premiere magazine about his estranged biological father.

Tarantino is a friend of Japanese Director Takashi Miike who he asked to perform a cameo in Eli Roth's film Hostel, as a result of Miike doing this Tarantino is performing in the opening action sequence of Miike's next Movie Sukiyaki Western: Django Scheduled for release in August 2007.

Tarantino has claimed to detest both drugs and violence in real life, in stark contrast to his films. Ironically, he has been arrested twice for assault; once, for punching an African-American woman in the face. Recent interviews seem to contradict this, however, an example of which is in a recent Playboy interview. He boasts of smoking marijuana and using Ecstasy while filming Kill Bill and his willingness to physically beat people who he has disagreements with.
