- Change theme
Quotes by Charlie Kaufman
- I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.
- I have a lot of health anxiety.
- I really don't have any solutions and I don't like movies that do.
- I think generally I'm kind of interested in subjective experience, what goes on inside someone's head, that being all they really know of the world.
- I think you just assume that your memory is just sort of a video playback of your experience, but it's nothing like that at all. It's a complete refabrication of an event and a lot of it is made up, because you're filling in spaces.
- I wanted to deal with someone's idea of their relationship.
- I'm interested in trying to explore what I think is the truth at a given time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie. You're sitting here watching a movie. And I like that. It appeals to me intellectually, and also in a way I can't even explain.
- I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.
- I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.
- I've kind of come to the conclusion that what passes for realism in movies has nothing to do with reality and that my stuff is more realistic than that.
- If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond, you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond. Some of the people are going to be uninterested and some people are going to be mad for some reason, which is their business. That's just the way the world is.
- In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.
