When talking about a certain episode at this moment podcast host and Billions Co-creator and director Brian Koppelman recalls that once, when he was having trouble writing a script at school, his mother took the teacher's side.
His teacher described his playwriting as a “provocative act of rebellion.”

Tarantino added: “When she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I said, 'Well, ma'am, when I become a successful writer, you'll never get the benefit of the doubt from me. See a penny in success. There won't be a house for you. You won't get a vacation, and your mom won't get an Elvis Cadillac. You won't get anything. Because you said so.”
He was then asked if this was a promise he had kept for many years. The 61-year-old admitted that on one occasion he supported his mother financially.
“Yeah. I helped her out of trouble with the IRS,” he said.

He added: “When you're dealing with children, your words have consequences. Remember, your sarcastic tone about things that are meaningful to them has consequences.”
