More quotes by 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
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
If you're lucky, you go from being a movie fan to a movie maker.

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.

I'm not even supposed to be here today.

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
In my spare time, I smoke acres of weed.
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'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.
Kevin Smith
I know you're supposed to tell kids not to do drugs, but, kids, do it! Do weed! Don't do the other stuff, but weed is good
Kevin Smith
AZRAEL: No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air.
Kevin Smith
Dudes know I'm not a threat. Chicks know I'm not a threat.
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
It takes nothing to encourage an artist.

I liked hockey, and I still like hockey.
