Fuck Yeah Kevin Smith

“My most cherished responsibility as a bona fide indie filmmaker is to let everyone know the shot is always worth taking. It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential return is immeasurable. A song will cheer your mood. A movie will let you escape. A podcast will make you laugh. Nice dividends to a simple investment.”

- -Kevin Smith

He did a Q&A that I caught last night on TV, he had some mazing things to say about art and life in general, I was trying to find a video clip of it but couldn’t, there’s an article here.

AMC feared losing its geeks.

That’s where writer, director and producer Kevin Smith (“Clerks”) comes in. Smith is the owner of Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash — a comic book shop in Red Bank, N.J., and now the basis for the AMC unscripted series “Comic Book Men” (premiering tonight at 10)…

AMC announced today that the network has greenlit the unscripted television series Secret Stash executive produced by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, Chasing Amy), Charlie Corwin’s Original Media (LA Ink, Miami Ink, Storm Chasers and Swamp People) and Elyse Seiden (Red State). Set in Kevin Smith’s iconic comic shop, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, the unscripted show captures the world of the neighborhood comic book store and fanboy culture. Season one is six, one-hour episodes and is currently scheduled for a 1Q 2012 launch. The series exemplifies AMC’s goal to be the definitive home for quality storytelling.

“…with Zack and Miri I really felt like I was chasing the puck, like, trying to catch up to Judd [Apatow], and now I’m just not interested in that anymore. I’m 39, I built a legacy dude, I don’t have to catch up to nobody. Fuck that, catch up to me, I made Clerks”

“That’s another reason you’ll never see my name next to Scorsese, Woody Allen, and Spike Lee. Scorsese speaks a lot at NYU and I’m damn skippy nobody’s ever been like ‘I’ll suck your dick for 5 bucks!’. Not during the lecture anyway.”

For the last two, three years I’ve been doing this thing and that thing is follow the whimsy. That’s what got me [into making movies] in the first place. I was a dude…
