A Quote by Jim Jarmusch

I grew up and I've worked with people who have been very present, a) either always jumping to whatever is most modern technologically advanced sort of thing, or b) people in this industry, like Kevin Smith, who, his communication with his fans is hugely connected to his success.

The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.

Immigration is the issue that tells us who is with us and who is against us; there's no question about it.

There's a theory with comedy that you shouldn't do anything that's too topical in your specials because people won't be able to watch them in five years.

You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being...So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another...One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint.
