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 really dont have any solutions and I dont like movies that do. – Charlie Kaufman
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
In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, theyre not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. Its a product. – Charlie Kaufman
