I want to know what you think. Jim Jarmusch in 2004 had an opinion and I don't know what 'GOOD READS" think about it. Many publishing and review companies today do suspend judgement in support of liberality. Jim Jimash may not have opined this. What did you think because its obvious what he ment.
“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 non-existent. 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."
Excuse me, comment also on writer's authenticity. Is there a thing as authentic or original or genuine writers?
