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.

More quotes by Jim Jarmusch
Before she married my father, my mother was a film reviewer for The Akron Beacon Journal - a small newspaper.
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
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
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.
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'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.
Jim Jarmusch
I'm not into killing living things, you know, but I'll always have guns.
Jim Jarmusch
America was built on an attempted genocide, anyway. Guns were completely necessary.
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
I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
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
A cult classic... both a celebration of the unlimited potential of the comic book form, and a perfect melding of inspiring, iconoclastic imaginations.
Jim Jarmusch
A lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.
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
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
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 from that speak directly to your soul.
Jim Jarmusch
When I'm trying to imagine something, I have a few elements, a few ideas, maybe a certain actor or actress I want to create a certain type of character for, or maybe a certain place.
Jim Jarmusch
You can define everything as being political and analyze it politically.
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.
