The Pulp Fiction director - who has Leo, four, and a two-year-old daughter with wife Daniella Pick - has long declared he plans to retire after making his upcoming 10th film.
Speaking at the Sundance FIlm Festival, Variety reports he said: "I'm in no hurry to actually jump into production.
"I've been doing that for 30 years. Next month my son turns five, and I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. When I'm in America, I'm writing. When I'm in Israel? I'm an abba, which means father.

"The idea of jumping on a voyage when they're too young to understand it is not enticing to me. I kind of want to not do whatever movie I end up doing until my son is at least six. That way he'll know what's going on, he'll be there, and it will be a memory for the rest of his life."
He noted his daughter "is already such a genius, she'll just get it."Â
But it isn't only his children keeping the 61-year-old filmmaker busy at the moment because he is also writing a play.
"If you're wondering what I'm doing right now, I'm writing a play, and it's going to be probably the next thing I end up doing," the director said.
"If it's a fiasco I probably won't turn it into a movie. But if it's a smash hit? It might be my last movie."
