More quotes by 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
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'm not overly analytical, and I don't set out to make something particularly.
Jim Jarmusch
[Kenneth Koch] taught us to be playful, to be very appreciative of other poets, to appreciate all forms of expression. He taught us to be experimental.
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.
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 marginal characters, I like real people. I learn more from talking to my plumber when he comes to fix my toilet than I do from meeting a movie star. I think my movies are in the same vein as that.
Jim Jarmusch
Each one of us is a set of shifting molecules, spinning in ecstasy.
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
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'm not into killing living things, you know, but I'll always have guns.
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 never start with the story first, which is maybe obvious, because the narrative line of my films is really not that strong or dramatic. They're very simple.
Jim Jarmusch
I have to tell everyone that when I finish a film and it goes out and is released, I never look at my films again. I don't like looking back. I don't even like talking about 'em! So I'm really digging back in my memory because I don't like to sit and look at my films again.
Jim Jarmusch
When I left Ohio when I was 17 and ended up in New York and realised that not all films had the giant crab monsters in them, it really opened up a lot of things for me.
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
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
America is a very venal place everything has to be sold there. You can repackage your own s**t and sell it if it is marketed in the right way. The motivation is to sell. It's so illogical and strange to me. It's such a disposable culture and yet I feel comfortable being American.
Jim Jarmusch
The beauty of life is in small details, not in big events.
Jim Jarmusch
I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.
