Jim Jarmusch // "All people are interesting, you just don't know it. You don't know if your bus driver might be a painter. Never judge what people are. The world has infinite mysteries and strange things. Be open to them."
Harry Dean Stanton // "You want people walking away from the conversation with some kernel of wisdom or some kind of impact."
Steve McQueen // "I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth."
D.H. Lawrence // "Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass."
Julie Delpy // "You can never replace anyone... I see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me...everyone is made of such beautiful, specific details."
Nan Goldin // "For me, it is not a detachment to take a picture. It's a way of touching somebody...I think that you can actually give people access to their own soul."
Allen Ginsberg // "Wanting approval...is a kind of aggression."
Marcel Duchamp // "Not everyone is an artist but everyone is a fucking critic."
Salvador Dali // "One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams."
Orson Welles // "I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could."
Tom Waits // "You know, people only travel really with their seeds, and with their songs. In Bosnia they interviewed a lot of refugees...they'd left with nothing and they asked them what they had, and they had seeds in their pockets from their gardens and their songs. That was it. Once you're nourished in that most fundamental way, everything else follows."
David Lynch // "We're all like detectives in life. There's something at the end of the trail that we're all looking for."
