More quotes by Kevin Smith
It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.
Kevin Smith
In this life, if you don't celebrate yourself, nobody will.
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
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
There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life. It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are.
Kevin Smith
If you grow up fat, you have to try harder.
Kevin Smith
Why take life seriously? No one gets out alive anyways.
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 grew up in a pretty gay world - my brother's gay and he's been married to a man for 20 years, which is like 60 in straight-people years.
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
Any book is a self-help guide if you can take something from it.
Kevin Smith
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.
Kevin Smith
Keep your focus on what YOU want to do - not what anyone else wants or is doing. You lose time watching others succeed.
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
When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.
Kevin Smith
Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story, it just takes experience.
Kevin Smith
I really would love to play a hannibal lector or PSYCO type character.
Kevin Smith
If you're lucky, you go from being a movie fan to a movie maker.
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.
Kevin Smith
If there was no Internet, my career would have ended in 1995.
Kevin Smith
