More quotes by Jim Jarmusch
I'm not into killing living things, you know, but I'll always have guns.
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
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination Authenticity is invaluable originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it.
Jim Jarmusch
Baseball is one of the most beautiful games. It is. It is a very Zen-like game.
Jim Jarmusch
A lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.

My films have sort of amateur elements, a naive quality, yet they have some sophisticated quality, sometimes the rhythm is kinda elegant.

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
When I hear the word independent I reach for my revolver. At this point, what the hell does that mean? The English Patient is an independent film... Hootie and the Blowfish are alternative music. I'm the Queen of Denmark. I don't know what it means anymore.
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
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
You can define everything as being political and analyze it politically.
Jim Jarmusch
If you have a counterculture band, you put a name on it, you call them beatniks, and you can sell something - books or bebop. Or you label them as hippies and you can sell tie-dyed T-shirts.
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 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
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.

America was built on an attempted genocide, anyway. Guns were completely necessary.
Jim Jarmusch
I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.
Jim Jarmusch
[Kenneth Koch] taught children in public schools in New York City to write poems and told them down worry about rhyming, don't worry about any of that stuff. You know, write a poem where you mention three colors and make it five lines - or he would just give them, you know, little strategies. And, man, they wrote some great poems.
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.
