Good acting is about reacting, not tryingto express something, but reacting to a situation as the character.I don't like acting acting.
Jim Jarmusch
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side.
Jim Jarmusch
Specific music starts feeding my imagination and gives me a landscape that corresponds somehow, in some abstract way, to the world I'm just starting to imagine.
Jim Jarmusch
I think we need to sort of broaden our definition of poetry, which maybe it's a good thing that they just gave this Nobel Prize to [Bob] Dylan because blurring the lines of song lyrics and also hip-hop for me is like some of the greatest uses - most innovative uses of language in my lifetime.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm very interested in variations.

Jim Jarmusch: Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.
Jim Jarmusch
A cult classic... both a celebration of the unlimited potential of the comic book form, and a perfect melding of inspiring, iconoclastic imaginations.
Jim Jarmusch
I know from the past, critics often say my films don't have any plot, that kind of thing. I'm used to being told, Yeah, it's slow and has no plot.
Jim Jarmusch
Sometimes I make films about scenes other filmmakers would leave out, so I just make the film out of all the things they wouldn't put in. Poetry allows you to do this more than prose, for example.
Jim Jarmusch
My films are about the little things that happen between people that are sometimes far more valuable and insightful than the big dramatic things that happen.
Jim Jarmusch
Each one of us is a set of shifting molecules, spinning in ecstasy.
Jim Jarmusch
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination Authenticity is invaluable originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it.
Jim Jarmusch
For me, the music is always like the small rowboat I get into at the very beginning of my process.
Jim Jarmusch
I don't like American football. I think it's boring and ridiculous and predictable. But baseball is very beautiful. It's played on a diamond.
Jim Jarmusch
When I studied with Nicholas Ray he was always telling us, If you want to make films, watch a lot of films, but don't just watch films, go take a walk, look at the sky, read a book about meteorology, look at the design of people's shoes. Because all of them are part of filmmaking. So I thought, perfect! That's a good job for me.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm not interested in stories. Stories are interesting but I don't think my head works that way. I remember at age 10 I dreamt of making animated cartoons as loops, something you could just project on your wall and look at from time to time. Kind of, something to stare at, something that's always there.
Jim Jarmusch
I thought The Limits of Control could be interpreted in two ways: as the limits of one's self-control and as the limits of allowing other people's control over one's - consciousness - which I kind of thought was a double meaning that was appropriate.
Jim Jarmusch
In Hollywood Westerns even in the Thirties and Forties, history was mythologized to accommodate some kind of moral code. And what really affects me deeply is when you see it taken to the extent where Native Americans become mythical people.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm still trying to learn how to do it, I'm still trying to figure out how to make films, but, yeah, it started then [in 1979].
Jim Jarmusch
You are the accumulations of your experiences at any given point. And when you express something those things come out. The thing is I hate seeing my films when I'm done with them, so I don't look back as a chart of my life, but I leave it as a kind of chart. Though, it is a photograph, captured.
Jim Jarmusch
