More quotes by 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
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
When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.
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.

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 have been telling me I'm a failure and that I'm doing it all wrong for 20 years now. Never trust anybody when they tell you how your story goes. You know your story. You write your own story.
Kevin Smith
And George Carlin was a guy that the more he aged the younger he seemed.
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

Kevin Smith
If there was no Internet, my career would have ended in 1995.
Kevin Smith
I'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.
Kevin Smith
We love dirty oral on the Down Low, but no going steady.
Kevin Smith
I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.
Kevin Smith
Don't go where the puck's been go where it's gonna be
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
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
It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.
