Full Quote Jim Jarmusch

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.

So true!! Even the greatest musicians ever "stole" from their predecessors and made it their own. It's how creativity thrives. Thanks for this guys!!

[DoctorAnne]

The James Jarmusch quote was very inspiring.

[Trucker_Josh]

I love this. it's true that anything you can think of has already been done. The challenge is, to do it better.

Being inspired is one thing, but having someone blatantly copy you and try to pass it off as their original idea sucks.

[RochelleFoxTV]

Love this man, you've gotta read the book steal like an artist if you have not already. You would LOVE IT !

[MakeMovesTV]

Good reminder! thanks again!
Inspiration fuels content! Nothing new under the sun! Except the Internet! lol

[JamConcerned]

Being inspired is different that than out and out stealing. There is still originality out there. If we are as different from each other as human being. I say be open to thinking outside of the box instead of quickly copying for a quick buck. Be inspired to think a different way, and ask what if. Do the work and connect with your talents and how you view the world.

People are coming up with unique and different ways of recycling, so be inspired and put your own stamp of it and make it your original idea.

truly inspiring Sean. Thanks for making amazing content. all the hours used to watch film and television, read novels and listen to music is going to pay off.

Incredibly inspiring Sean! Reminds me of "Steal like an Artist". And Jim Jarmusch is one of my favorite directors! :)

[Brandon.Starnes]

Love this. Nothing is original. Create.

[torrisunshine]

Ah! I love this! Perfect becaus I'm just about to go film! I finally got the guts and pieces together to put up my first video 2 days ago! Aahhh!

[EclecticAlu]

Thank you for this !!!! I recently made a video completely inspired by a well known YouTuber and felt with the moral obligation to link to her channel and let her know (through her social media) that I was doing this video. Apparently, she didn't care as much as I thought. She didn't even answer in any way!!! I guess I'm learning as I go...A LOT 🤔😊

[nathanmercado]

Your right. Theres ni such thing as being original but the closest to being original is remixing ideas into making it something new
