More quotes by Kevin Smith
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.

Kevin Smith
Why take life seriously? No one gets out alive anyways.
Kevin Smith
People are bursting out of the closet, rejecting their parents' wishes to keep the faith. Atheism is becoming mainstream.
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
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

Kevin Smith
Live a Why not? life, man. Take the shot. The shot is always worth taking.
