I’ve always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I’m feeling in the moment. – Kevin Smith
You know, comics and movies, even if you take a comic and turn it into a movie, we can’t all be Joss Whedon. – Kevin Smith
Other filmmakers make their movies and put them out and that’s that. For me, for some odd reason, it goes deeper than that. – Kevin Smith
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I’ll never be thin. Let’s be honest. – Kevin Smith
I’ve always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I’m feeling in the moment. In fact, maybe that’s really it. In anything I’ve ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don’t think is a bad thing. – Kevin Smith

All these people who say success changes people; well, no, it just magnifies what’s there. – Kevin Smith
It’s kind of debatable whether or not the advertisement model is effective. Like whether Nielsen works. For years, Nielsen has been based on sampling. It’s not like an electronic bullet that hits your house that tells the people at networks at all times what you’re watching. – Kevin Smith
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. – Kevin Smith
I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that’s very image-conscious. It’s a thin person’s world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of. – Kevin Smith
And the podcasting – I swear to you – on its worst day, the podcasts are better than our best films. Because they’re more imaginative, and there’s no artifice, and it’s far more real. – Kevin Smith
