“It’s a strange one,” said Roth of the film’s impact. “We all kind of felt it when we were making it. It’s not one of those ones where, when you look back, you go, ‘wow, that film, huh? Look what it did.’ We knew when we were making it, even before we started shooting, as the actors started to hang with each other [and] meet up.”
From the beginning, Roth suggested that the cast and crew behind the film had an idea that they were a part of something special, especially calling out Quentin Tarantino’s ability.
“Everyone thought, ‘oh, this is something special. This guy is going to have a long, distinguished career,’” said Roth. “We didn’t necessarily think it would be this powerful, but we definitely thought ‘this guy’s fantastic.’ This work, this writing … the way he was on set afterward, the directing — the way he directs his actors … it was extraordinary.”
Roth went on to say that while no one can predict that type of success, it was still “an incredible feeling” to be there during the beginning of it all, especially for those involved.

“So we knew it was coming, but obviously, no one can predict that kind of success, that kind of impact,” Roth said. “To be there at the beginning is an incredible feeling, you know? For all of us involved. Steve Buscemi, the same. Harvey [Keitel], all these guys, Mike [Madsen] … it’s quite an extraordinary moment.”
