More quotes by 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
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.
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.

If you grow up fat, you have to try harder.

Why take life seriously? No one gets out alive anyways.
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
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
I say what other people won't.

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

Haven't two hundred years of failed missionary work overseas taught anybody anything? You can't convert people to anything - whether religion, or something as inane as our flicks.
