I think you just assume that your memory is just sort of a video playback of your experience, but its nothing like that at all. Its a complete refabrication of an event and a lot of it is made up, because youre filling in spaces. – Charlie Kaufman

When Im writing, Im trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because thats how life is lived, you know? – Charlie Kaufman
