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 nonexistent. 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.”
Jarmusch
