Jarmusch on imperfections

Jarmusch likens his love of embracing imperfections to weavers of the Navajo and Zuni Native American tribes. “When they make a blanket and it has a repeated pattern that is totally symmetrical, they reject it and say it has no magic,” he says. “If there’s something that somehow fucks up the symmetry in some small way, then it has a little opening for something magical.”
