More quotes by Jim Jarmusch
My films have sort of amateur elements, a naive quality, yet they have some sophisticated quality, sometimes the rhythm is kinda elegant.
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 prefer to be subcultural rather than mass-cultural. I'm not interested in hitting the vein of the mainstream.
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

Jim Jarmusch
I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.
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'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
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.

Before she married my father, my mother was a film reviewer for The Akron Beacon Journal - a small newspaper.
Jim Jarmusch
It was a really interesting time in New York in the late 70s and early 80s, and the music scene was really, really interesting because you didn't have to be a virtuoso to make music, it was more about your desire to express things.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm not overly analytical, and I don't set out to make something particularly.
Jim Jarmusch
The New York School poets are my godfathers creatively.
Jim Jarmusch
Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.
