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.

More quotes by Jim Jarmusch
I'm very interested in variations.
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
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
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
Domesticity is a fact of how social structure works. So if you say, Well being domestic as a female is a negative trait, then that would be like saying, Having a family - because that's an economic unit designed to further the economic structures in the world - if you have a family then you're subjugated.
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'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
I'm not into killing living things, you know, but I'll always have guns.
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
Everything is not laden with potential for drama in life.
Jim Jarmusch
America was built on an attempted genocide, anyway. Guns were completely necessary.
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 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 like all forms of movies. I'm a movie geek, so I watch all kinds of films, but - and I read all kinds of things, too. But the poetry that speaks to me the most directly will contain mundane things, will contain details.
Jim Jarmusch
I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
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 an analytical person, so it's not my job to even know what the hell the thing meant. It's not my problem. I'm just supposed to do it. Sometimes, people have explained things to me that I might have been semi-conscious of or not.
Jim Jarmusch
Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.
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
Select only things to steal that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable originality is nonexistent
