More quotes by Kevin Smith
More often than not, a hero’s most epic battle is the one you never see it’s the battle that goes on within him or herself.
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
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
In my spare time, I smoke acres of weed.
Kevin Smith
And George Carlin was a guy that the more he aged the younger he seemed.
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
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
Kevin Smith
It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.
Kevin Smith
It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.

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.
Kevin Smith
If there was no Internet, my career would have ended in 1995.
Kevin Smith
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.
Kevin Smith
People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low.
Kevin Smith
So I know how I watch movies which is on my laptop, man. And that's how I suspect a lot of people do it.
Kevin Smith
I really would love to play a hannibal lector or PSYCO type character.
Kevin Smith
This is not an industry in which you curl up in a ball and shy away from the realities. It's a time to scream to the clouds that we're here and we've got great values and great prices. What better time to do that than the Super Bowl?
Kevin Smith
I saw Richard Linklater's film 'Slacker' for my twenty-first birthday. That was the moment when it all seemed possible. This guy gave me hope.
Kevin Smith
Live a Why not? life, man. Take the shot. The shot is always worth taking.
Kevin Smith
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.
Kevin Smith
People are bursting out of the closet, rejecting their parents' wishes to keep the faith. Atheism is becoming mainstream.
