It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.

I wanted to get my movie noticed WITHOUT spending any ad money. So I made a bit of a spectacle. I recorded lots of podcasts. I bickered with hate groups. I criticized critics. I banged pots together. I did everything I could to raise awareness without raising any money to do so.

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.

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.

Stop…stop, that’s the next generation of fans… How dare you pass judgment on those 12-year-old girls who like vampires! They need to be encouraged because in six years they’ll be 18-year-old girls who like vampires and are into all sorts of goth-permissive and whatnot. Don’t Poo-poo it. There’s a plan, and it’s working.

I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant.

When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.

You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude, but they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you.

Any book is a self-help guide if you can take something from it.

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

In the face of such hopelessness as our eventual, unavoidable death, there is little sense in not at least trying to accomplish all of your wildest dreams in life.

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.

In this life, if you don't celebrate yourself, nobody will.
