More quotes by Kevin Smith
Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story, it just takes experience.
Kevin Smith
If you're alive, kick into drive. Chase whimsies. See if you can turn dreams into a way to make a living, if not an entire way of life.

Remember: It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return, ever.

Dudes know I'm not a threat. Chicks know I'm not a threat.
Kevin Smith
People have been telling me I'm a failure and that I'm doing it all wrong for 20 years now. Never trust anybody when they tell you how your story goes. You know your story. You write your own story.
Kevin Smith

I just love movies, so suddenly, you’re political about movies, and that’s dark. It’s just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.
Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith
I'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.
Kevin Smith
I say what other people won't.
Kevin Smith
One man's frankness is another man's vulgarity.
Kevin Smith
I've always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I'm feeling in the moment.
Kevin Smith
We love dirty oral on the Down Low, but no going steady.
Kevin Smith
In Hollywood you kind of fail upwards
Kevin Smith
I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.
Kevin Smith
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
Kevin Smith
Don't let anybody tell you different, man: The main goal in life careerwise should always be to try to get paid to simply be yourself.
Kevin Smith
If you're lucky, you go from being a movie fan to a movie maker.
Kevin Smith
For years, my job was to make the movie inexpensively. And I could bring it in. What I can't control are the costs of marketing.
Kevin Smith
