"I didn’t get my degree at NYU; I got it later, they gave me an honourary one." ― Jim Jarmusch Topic(s): Graduation More From Jim Jarmusch "Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool, but I don’t understand.

Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn’t play, it has a poignancy to it." "If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, you’ll probably get beaten up.

When the debate should have been about the deterioration of our cities and the lack of action by government, he sent in his idiot to make an outrageous statement about Murphy Brown."― Tim Robbins "It’s such a thrilling part about being in a relationship at a young age, and all your feelings are apocalyptic, all your emotions are so huge."― Marc Webb
