The quotes:

"We are both members of an organization called the Sons of Lee Marvin. It's a mystical organization and they have a New York chapter, and we met at one of the annual meetings. It's some where between the Elks Club and the Academy Awards."
Tom Waits: Rolling Stone: Nov. 6, 1986.


"Just the idea of Marvin's characters being outsiders and very violent appeals to me. Some seem to have a very strong code - even if it's a psychotic one -
that he follows rigidly."
Jim Jarmusch: "Jim Jarmusch's Guilty Pleasures:" Film Comment, May-June, 1992
