Quentin Tarantino hoards junk.

The 'Inglourious Basterds' director never throws things away, but blames the fact he lives alone for his less-than-pristine surroundings.

He said: "I'm a bachelor, so literally my place is like a dorm room. A fraternity house of one. If you walked in the door you would just see lots of stacks of s**t.

"You could come to my house to visit and bring a copy of a magazine with you and put it on the counter, and three years later you could come back and that magazine would still be on that counter.

"I have a problem throwing stuff out."

The filmmaker also refuses to throw away electronic equipment and can't understand why people replace their old devices with modern equivalents.

He added to FHM magazine: "I lose respect for people who disconnect their video tape player. If you don't have a record player, if you don't have a vinyl player that you can play, if you don't have your VCR still connected to your TV, you go down a little bit in my estimations."
