Jim Jarmusch's quotes
- I consider myself a dilettante in a positive way, and I always have. That affects my sense of filmmaking.
- I prefer to be subcultural rather than mass-cultural. I'm not interested in hitting the vein of the mainstream.
- I never talk to actors as a group. Only one at a time. I talk to them about being their characters. Never, ever, about the meaning of the scene. I don't want the actors overladen with research, so they grow stale.
- It's great that the audience have their own different takes on what they have just seen, and don't know all the answers. Often, I don't know all the answers either.
- The beauty of life is in small details, not in big events.
- I have no desire to make films for any kind of specific audience. What I want to do is make films that... tell stories, but somehow in an new way, not in a predictable form, not in the usual manipulative way that films seem to on their audiences.
- [on working with Tilda Swinton] She's just one of the most fantastic people I know. She is full of creativity, she's open, she's incredibly knowledgeable about so many things. She's like the bohemian goddess of our lifetime.
- I've always been drawn to outsider types of characters, so what more perfect shadowy inhabitants of the margins there than vampires?
- I am attracted to non-dramatic moments in life.
- [on Paterson] In the film I wanted to make this little structure to be a metaphor for life, that every day is a variation on the day before or the day coming up. They're just variations.
