More quotes by Jim Jarmusch
Film relates to almost every other form of expression, but poetry is a bit abstract in its strength and sometimes even the white spaces on the page are evocative almost as much as where the text is. Certain poets have played with that.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm not into killing living things, you know, but I'll always have guns.
Jim Jarmusch
Now in the States if you look at the TV, you see the advertisements, the TV programmes, the pop videos, and the movies, they're all the same style. I think it's very condescending to the audience to assume they only have a three second attention span and so they don't leave anything on the screen for any longer. I don't understand that.
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 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
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
Everything is not laden with potential for drama in life.
Jim Jarmusch
A lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.
Jim Jarmusch
Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.
Jim Jarmusch
I love riding on a bus now because you're looking down on the world from not too high of an angle, but people on the street rarely look up into the bus. They're sort of oblivious to this big giant machine, you know, passing by. So there's something very beautiful about the angle that you look at the world through.
Jim Jarmusch
I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.
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 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
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
I'm not overly analytical, and I don't set out to make something particularly.
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
The filmmaker Amos Poe was a huge inspiration for me by making guerrilla-style punk films on the streets of New York and - well, it's just a lot of painters and artists and filmmakers all within that scene, and it's very, very important to me.
Jim Jarmusch
I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
Jim Jarmusch
I think you can only be nostalgic for something you've lost.
Jim Jarmusch
Specific music starts feeding my imagination and gives me a landscape that corresponds somehow, in some abstract way, to the world I'm just starting to imagine.
