More From Jim Jarmusch

I keep feeling that there isn't one poem being written by any one of us - or a book or anything like that. the whole life of us writers, the whole product i guess i mean, is the one long poem - a community effort if you will. it's all the same poem. it doesn't belong to any one writer - it's god's poem perhaps. or god's people's poem.
Book Mean Long
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.

For a second we just stand there in silence. then, suddenly, alex is back, easy and smiling again. “i left a note for you one time. in the governor’s fist, you know?” i left a note for you one time. it’s impossible, too crazy to think about, and i hear myself repeating, “you left a note for me?” “i’m pretty sure it said something stupid. just hi, and a smiley face, and my name. but then you stopped coming.” he shrugs. “it’s probably still there. the note, i mean. probably just a bit of paper pulp by now.
Crazy Stupid Mean
A successful poem says what a poet wants to say, and more, with particular finality. the remarks he makes about his poems are incidental when the poem is good, or embarrassing or absurd when it is bad and he is not permitted to say how the good poem is good, and may never know how the bad poem is bad. it is better to write about other people's poetry.

Take out another notebook, pick up another pen, and just write, just write, just write. in the middle of the world, make one positive step. in the center of chaos, make one definitive act. just write. say yes, stay alive, be awake. just write. just write. just write.
Notebook Writing Alive
What i try to do is to go into a poem - and one writes them, of course, poem by poem - to go into each poem, first of all without having any sense whatsoever of where it's going to end up

Writing Want Heard
The one thing a writer has to have is a pencil and some paper. that's enough, so long as she knows that she and she alone is in charge of that pencil, and responsible, she and she alone, for what it writes on that paper.

Writing is something you'll never learn in any university or at any school. it's something that is within you, and if it isn't there, nothing can put it there.
