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
I think generally Im kind of interested in subjective experience, what goes on inside someones head, that being all they really know of the world. – Charlie Kaufman
Theres no way to approach anything in an objective way. Were completely subjective our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world. – Charlie Kaufman
Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you dont have to make when youre writing. – Charlie Kaufman
