- Growing up is for losers.
- Film school is for fools.
- Auteurism is out. Fil-teurism is in.
- Put your ideas in a drawer. Take them out as needed.
- All you’ve really got in life is story.
- Command the audience with your lens.
- Nothing can defeat a director who is one with his actors.
- Surround yourself with improvisers.
- Directing is not for the faint-of-heart. Or the sane.
- Be an enlightened despot.
- Bonus Lesson: And whatever you do, don’t ever work with the Weinsteins.

“Do whatever the fuck you want, even if it’s wrong, and then tell about it with honesty. That is filmmaking to me…Success is fucking up on your own terms.” - Guillermo del Toro

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.”
— Jim Jarmusch
