That's All, Folks: Kevin Smith On Leaving Filmmaking (NPR)
(When 21-year-old Kevin Smith decided he wanted to be a filmmaker, his sister gave him some advice: "Don't say you want to be a filmmaker; just be one." So he did. He made his first film, Clerks, on a shoestring, shooting at the convenience store where he worked. Smith has gone on to have a long and quirky career; his films, including Chasing Amy and Dogma, bear his unmistakable imprimatur — the black humor, the verbose slacker genius characters. But Smith, who has already garnered a huge following with his podcasts, says he is taking his ideas — and career — into "other arenas.")

(Tonight, Kevin Smith kicked off a book tour in support of Tough Shit: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good which hits book stores today. According to the book’s Amazon description, “Kev takes you through some big moments in his life to help you live your days in as Gretzky a fashion as you can: going where the puck is gonna be. Read all about how a zero like Smith managed to make ten movies with no discernible talent, and how when he had everything he thought he’d ever want, he decided to blow up his own career. Along the way, Kev shares stories about folks who inspired him (like George Carlin), folks who befuddled him (like Bruce Willis), and folks who let him jerk off onto their legs (like his beloved wife, Jen).”)

(Comic Book Men creator and indie film icon Kevin Smith is slated to critique, explore and dissect an independent film that takes its viewers on a harrowing ride from the innocent days of 1960s “Father Knows Best” television to today’s stunning and envelope pushing shows like “Jersey Shore,” “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and “Mob Wives.” Smith, who seems to have taken over James Brown’s role as “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business” has remained mum on his thoughts on the project but the film’s director, Jim Riffel, has not. “The content of television today is unrecognizable from what it was 40 years ago," said Riffel. "I'm sure there are some people who are quite happy with this metamorphosis and, of course, there are other people who may have a different opinion. I'm sure that Kevin Smith will offer some insightful revelations.")
