More quotes by 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
Im gonna try to pay for CLERKS III myself. As much as I love the crowd-funding model, thats an advancement in indie film that belongs to the next generation of artists. I started on my own dime, and if Im allowed, I should finish on my own dime.
Kevin Smith
If you grow up fat, you have to try harder.
Kevin Smith
I'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.
Kevin Smith
Any book is a self-help guide if you can take something from it.

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

Kevin Smith
Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story, it just takes experience.
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'm not even supposed to be here today.
Kevin Smith
Dudes know I'm not a threat. Chicks know I'm not a threat.
Kevin Smith
I liked hockey, and I still like hockey.
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
I really would love to play a hannibal lector or PSYCO type character.
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
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.
