Kevin Smith Quotes

It’s taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie Picture Quote #1

All these people who say success changes people; well, no, it just magnifies what’s there Picture Quote #1

You know, comics and movies, even if you take a comic and turn it into a movie, we can't all be Joss Whedon Picture Quote #1

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue Picture Quote #1

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not Picture Quote #1

The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers Picture Quote #1

In anything I've ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don't think is a bad thing. It makes sense. But I had always admired filmmakers who made movies that didn't sound like them at all Picture Quote #1

You can have 10 bucks to 10 million bucks and if you got a crew, imagination and a lot of people willing to turn in some work next to nothing, you going to have a feature. But you can't get beyond how expensive marketing the movie is, it's so crushing Picture Quote #1

For years, my job was to make the movie inexpensively. And I could bring it in. What I can’t control are the costs of marketing Picture Quote #1

More often than not, a hero’s most epic battle is the one you never see; it’s the battle that goes on within him or herself Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the path you’re on is not as important as the direction you’re heading Picture Quote #1

Storytelling is my currency. It’s my only worth. The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out Picture Quote #1

There’s something to be said for failing. It’s not the failure you feel, it’s the failure that people project when something disappoints. You’re back to ground zero, where there’s no expectations, and that’s where I like to be Picture Quote #1

I’ve always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I’m feeling in the moment Picture Quote #1

In the face of such hopelessness as our eventual, unavoidable death, there is little sense in not at least trying to accomplish all of your wildest dreams in life Picture Quote #1

Remember: It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return, ever Picture Quote #1

If you’re alive, kick into drive. Chase whimsies. See if you can turn dreams into a way to make a living, if not an entire way of life Picture Quote #1

There’s a trick to being whatever you want to be in life. It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are Picture Quote #1

Don’t go where the puck’s been; go where it’s gonna be Picture Quote #1

People tend to romanticize this job. So, it’s fun to let the air out of it Picture Quote #1

I’m always cribbing from real life. I’m not a very creative filmmaker Picture Quote #1

People have been telling me I’m a failure and that I’m doing it all wrong for 20 years now. Never trust anybody when they tell you how your story goes. You know your story. You write your own story Picture Quote #1

People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low Picture Quote #1

Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith Picture Quote #1
