I love silent films. The future is unwritten.
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
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 started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.
Jim Jarmusch
A lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.
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 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
Music just gives me so much energy and inspiration. Music and literature in a way probably influence me more than cinema does because they're different forms and yet related. I probably know as much about music history as I do about the history of cinema.
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
If you make a film, that magic is not there, because you were there while shooting it. After writing a film and shooting it and being in the editing room every day, you can never see it clearly. I think other people's perception of your film is more valid than your own, because they have that ability to see it for the first time.
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
You can define everything as being political and analyze it politically.
Jim Jarmusch
Everything is not laden with potential for drama in life.
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
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
Each one of us is a set of shifting molecules, spinning in ecstasy.
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
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
I still consider myself to be an amateur filmmaker. And I say that because in the Latin origin of the word amateur is the word love, and it's love of a form, whereas professional implies something you do for money or for work.
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.
