Stupid f***ing white man.
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
If anyone tells you there is only one way, their way, get as far away from them as possible, both physically and philosophically.
Jim Jarmusch
I like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what we're really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm not putting down anyone that does look at their work in that way, but for me I am a hardcore amateur.
Jim Jarmusch
I like to work with actors that have varied experiences. But I don't choose them because of their experience, I choose them because of qualities I think would make an interesting character and to me there is no one way to direct actors, there is only one way to collaborate with one person.
Jim Jarmusch
I didn't get the degree because in my last year, for my thesis film I made a feature called Permanent Vacation and they'd given me a scholarship, the Louis B Mayer fellowship and they made a mistake.
Jim Jarmusch
I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
Jim Jarmusch
A lot of poets too live on the margins of social acceptance, they certainly aren't in it for the money. William Blake - only his first book was legitimately published.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm like a navigator and I try to encourage our collaboration and find the best way that will produce fruit. I like fruit. I like cherries, I like bananas.
Jim Jarmusch
For me, the music is always like the small rowboat I get into at the very beginning of my process.
Jim Jarmusch
Some people would find just the rhythm of my films alone to be a nightmare they'd probably just fall asleep because they want something quicker. Other people fall into it and it works for them like a dream.
Jim Jarmusch
I've always loved films, always. I studied literature and I went to Columbia in New York and I went to Paris for part of one year and ended up staying there.
Jim Jarmusch
I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.
Jim Jarmusch
The beauty of a movie is that you walk in, you don't know anything about it, you enter a world that's new to you, and that's the magic of being transported.
Jim Jarmusch
I prefer to be subcultural rather than mass-cultural. I'm not interested in hitting the vein of the mainstream.
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 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 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
I'd wanted to be a writer and when I came back to New York worked as a musician too, but I found my writing starting to get more and more referential to cinema.
