Jim Jarmusch Quotes

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 dont understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago, but I didnt understand what they were talking about. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
Hopefully, if not its not working right. Im 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. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
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. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I always think the Sex Pistols and the Ramones as very, very important because they stripped things down. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I didnt get my degree at NYU; I got it later, they gave me an honourary one. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes

I have to tell everyone that when I finish a film and it goes out and is released, I never look at my films again. I dont like looking back. I dont even like talking about em! So Im really digging back in my memory because I dont like to sit and look at my films again. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I like doing them and theyre ridiculous and the actors can improvise a lot, and they dont have to be really realistic characters that hit a very specific tone as in a feature film. Theyre really fun, I want to make more of them definitely. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what were really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I love rehearsing because in rehearsals there are no mistakes, nothing is wrong, some things apply or lead you to focus on the character and the things that dont apply are equally valuable because they lead you to towards what does. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
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. Its always a real collaboration for me. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesnt play, it has a poignancy to it. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
I wanted to make an Indian character who wasnt either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature thats blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being. - Jim Jarmusch Quotes
