Jim Jarmusch’s 5 most popular quotes

  • If anyone tells you there is only one way, their way, get as far away from them as possible, both physically and philosophically.
  • My films are about the little things that happen between people that are sometimes far more valuable and insightful than the big dramatic things that happen.
  • Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.
  • When I get depressed, or anything, I go ‘think of all the music I haven’t even heard yet!’ So, it’s the one thing. Imagine the world without music. Man, just hand me a gun, will you?
  • I prefer to be subcultural rather than mass-cultural. I’m not interested in hitting the vein of the mainstream.
