Famous quotes by Jim Jarmusch:

"I negotiate my deals with a loaded shotgun. They were not on the set of the film."

"Yeah, ... Maybe people like us will live there in the future, when they're all overgrown and rundown. And there's, like, coyotes walking through."

"Wayne, New Jersey, ... And shooting in it was very depressing. Because everyone has the same stuff, you know? The same TV, the same cars, their kids dress the same. But then the people in the community were really, really nice to us. Very enthusiastic and kinda lovely. But before that human connection, it was just depressing to me, to be in that kind of hermetically sealed community. I think a lot of people actually live in places like that, more and more."

"The Huns cross Europe, raping and pillaging, ... You know? That's only half a line, so that must take 12 seconds."

"So if too many people like my films, I might get scared and think I did something wrong. Honestly."

"And it's kind of freaking me out,"

"obviously these characters come out of my head, but they have to embody them, so Jeffrey certainly lifted it above what I imagined but also came through with what the film really needed from that character."

"I hope not, ... God, I hope not."

"I might be frightened by it,"

"To go back to it was just too painful, so I pulled the plug on it, ... Bill was disconcerted because he liked that story. I said, `But Bill, I've got this other idea,' which was Broken Flowers . And I told him what I had, and he said, `Well, do you want to do that one instead?' I said, `I do. I'd love to.' And he said, `Yeah, let's do that.' With Bill, he'll give you his word, and that's all you need."

"Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool, but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago, but I didn't understand what they were talking about."

"I start with actors that I know personally or I know their work, and there are things about their work or their presence or their own personality that make a character, that exaggerates some qualities and suppresses other qualities. It's always a real collaboration for me."

"If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, you'll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry."

"What I did was I completed the half-hour film, but before really showing it, I wrote two more sections for a potential feature film which I didn't think would really happen, but at least I had it in case."

"I don't like American football. I think it's boring and ridiculous and predictable. But baseball is very beautiful. It's played on a diamond."

"Before she married my father, my mother was a film reviewer for The Akron Beacon Journal - a small newspaper."

"Hopefully, if not it's not working right. I'm like a navigator and I try to encourage our collaboration and find the best way that will produce fruit. I like fruit. I like cherries, I like bananas."

"I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues."

"Contradiction was something I really like when it is embraced in that kind of philosophy."

"I always start with characters rather than with a plot, which many critics would say is very obvious from the lack of plot in my films - although I think they do have plots - but the plot is not of primary importance to me, the characters are."
