Tarantino's 'Baby Fever'

The Inglourious Basterds filmmaker has been romantically linked to a string of actresses including Mira Sorvino, Julie Dreyfus and his self-described "muse" Uma Thurman.

And though Tarantino hasn't married he admits he's longed to start a family, and now he's just waiting for the right time.

He says, "There was a time a few years back that I kind of had baby fever. I kind of wanted to have a kid and I kind of got over it - not that I don't want to have kids but I just didn't have baby fever anymore. I just want to take it any way it comes... I'm really good with kids actually. You hear those stories like once you have kids your life is over but I actually like my life the way it is. That being said, I think I'd be a great dad. I'd like to come back and have me for a dad."
